The Bag Lady

Sue smiled at the supposedly unique cookware. If she wasn’t such a polite woman she might throw the pan she tried to clean. She started to shake the grim pot to remove the rough surface’s stuck-on food. Thinking how much money she had invested in the cookware, she felt sad, remembering how she chose to shop for the style instead of wearability.

bound in autumn hues

feathery features

camouflaged hunting dresses

regurgitate feed

using tools to drop fish bait

cleverness is their asset

SenHai Saturday #21

Strips of filmy fabric draped over her body this night, Suzanne recalled a forgotten moment when she first felt his touch. His fingertips were like a velvet balm to her tired being. His approach never a roar, but a slow jazz composition and her passion was revealed.

The little creatures scurry for seeds

Autumn harvesting suits their need

Flowers and plants shed their fare

Little animals waiting there

Gardens provide their eating habits

Tiny ones and including rabbits.

Joe walked alone with no follow

Searched secret stash in tree hollow

Found his liquor gone

Then sang a sad song

While friends enjoyed every swallow.

Laughing Along With A Limerick

Fall fell

Farewell summer sun

Confetti cloudscape

Radiant rainbows rest

Greenery fading

Wind stirring all

“Roy Orbison’s “Pretty Woman” went to number one on Billboard Hot 100 on September 26, 1964. The song was later the subject of a lawsuit that involved the Supreme Court and expanded the concept of fair use, eventually opening the door for parody song.” Below, recorded on black and white night – I think I saw my sixties hairdo on someone in the audience😄

• Roy Orbison and Bill Dees wrote “Oh, Pretty Woman” in about 90 minutes after Orbison’s wife Claudette asked him for shopping money. Dees began the song with, “Pretty woman…don’t need no money.” 
• The song’s “Mercy!” was a phrase Dees often used. Orbison’s growl in the song was a spontaneous addition during recording. 
• Despite its upbeat melody, the lyrics tell a wistful story of unrequited longing, ending with the woman seemingly returning to the narrator. 
• Claudette, Orbison’s first wife and the inspiration for the song, died in a motorcycle accident in 1966. 
• Orbison’s trademark sunglasses became a necessity after he left his regular glasses on a plane, forcing him to wear his prescription Ray-Bans on stage.
