MLMM Wordle #261

I never tried to hide my sympathy for him, regarded as a miscreant by the general public, but when I saw Mrs. Jones swivel around after he sorrowfully pleaded for help, I was disgusted. Yes, he was ragged, had a limp and a cane, and obviously had fallen on hard times. It was cringeworthy seeing her accost the poor man, who was asking for a cup of coffee because he might freeze.

It seems people who live on rich hilltops to escape day to day living, lose sight of the real world. Instead of offering help with a mere dollar from her plaid Gucci bag, she practically spit at the man.

I suppose she thought her privacy might be invaded, or maybe it was fear of thinking she might someday be in his position. She might have been so angry because she realized this world is no longer has a fantasy/future where she could pretend to be a mermaid in a Hans Christian Andersen story.

Morning Misanthrope

“I say old boy, is this another morning where you straddle the line between consuming a particular piece of a possibly radioactive item disguised as a doughnut, or a healthy piece of whole grained toast?”

“You know George, your malapert personality only shows itself in the morning. We all have to wait till afternoon to engage you in conversation. I’ll have you know my mother made fresh doughnuts every morning and I’m still here, healthy as ever! Perhaps the sugar quality of this warm sweet treat would put you in a better mood.“

The Sunday Whirl – Query

Joe forgot his umbrella, he was so upset. He decided a walk in the forest would calm him, even though it had started to pour. He really had no idea why a tattoo of seven small doves would cause his mother’s thundering response.

Joe’s father coveted several small tattoos, all of elves, which seemed odd, but his older leathery skin had faded them. His mother accepted them at the time, so why make out Joe’s decision was such a blunder?

Sammiscribbles Weekend Writing Prompt

Image From Pinterest

I never drink, don’t dance much
Don’t favor a party going bunch
I might, occasionally
Invite a friend for tea
Mostly, I’m happy with me
Without a lot of company.
That being said, I do enjoy
Romantic visits from a boy
I’m no goddess, I admit
So their presence has a limit.
Nothing bothers them more than this:
My brush off from an unwanted kiss
I know I’m doomed to end up alone
Certain things I can’t condone—
Octopus arms or bad breath
Always cause romantic death.

SoCS – Lid

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

I’ve been accused, and not amused

By the popular grid that I’ve flipped my lid

I agree life’s a mess which we need to address

But I’ll not accept quotes 

From the men in white coats.

The world is askew and even you

Will agree we are all a bit nuts

But we’ll survive, no ifs ands or buts,

I just need my foil paper hat!
