Having no luck redoing my hut hut hut post I finally gave up and trashed it. Apparently I can not put a video on my blog, just the link, and who likes following links? No one. Today is June 19th, US holiday celebrating the end of slavery of African Americans in Texas, 1866.

Joe was a little too keen with his chicanery. His Saturday timeline meant he was on the lookout for market finds from various street vendors. Growing up in New York City, Joe thought he had his technique perfected. He could tell a fake Rolex or Vuitton handbag in a second. Since he was a frequent visitor, the vendors also knew when to hide the real bargains.

Never heard a compliment
From anyone who was giving
At least until her daddy
Had ceased his unkind living
Plagued in her young years
Suffering unimagined fears
Was not until her thirty year’s day
When she met a man who would say
The things she always longed to hear
And she listened without fear
A man who could dry the tears
From voices heard on tender ears
She learned love comes in many forms
And hateful speech is not the norm.

It should have been a simple prank. We could have remained anonymous, but Joe and his big mouth decided to burn us all by spilling his guts Sunday morning.
After deciding to celebrate our success and taking his cousin under his wing, we’re all paying the price. A hangover headache was his excuse for slipshod behavior. Now we’re all sitting in the county lockup.

“Hurry up, Charles! It’s bad enough you have me up here on the ledge, in this outfit? Take the picture already! Who’s this for, anyway? I can’t hold this much longer!”
Charles was taking longer than he should. Why not? It would take a bit more time for the supposed gold paint to completely harden. He let the wicked smile show. He was enjoying Harry’s pain. Harry was so gullible, he’d fall for anything. And apparently had a convenient memory of past deeds. This was revenge. Charles pretended forgiveness, friendship for a while, but it’s overwith now.
“Charles, this is starting to hurt! I mean it! It’s really starting to pain!” Harry was trying to move but it seemed too difficult. The paint was almost completely solid.
Charles busied himself cleaning up the mess he made. Harry never knew this was retaliation. Maybe it hardly crossed his mind how he carelessly ruined Charles’ life. But he would never forget. A reckless driving accident they reported. For Charles, the love of his life was gone forever because of Harry. Revenge accomplished.Charles looked, saw tears falling from the eagle’s eye.

Yesterday just came and went
And today dealt me another hand of heartaches that I’ll play
What we said and what we meant
Two different things, just some words and rings
And time keeps raising the stakesTonight I’ll find you in my dreams
And tomorrow I’ll wake up and have to feel you fade away
That’s the way it goes it seems
Tears filled with pain and they fall like rain
Constant reminders every dayWithout your love
The sky is grey
Without your love
I’m waiting on the sun to shine
Without your love
Every hour is the darkest time of the day
And every moment’s a crime
And every moment’s a crimeThe more I live without you
Just can’t forget about you
Nobody else can set me free
Baby, please come back to me
Baby, please come back to meWithout your love
The sky is grey
Without your love
I’m just waiting on the sun to shine
Without your love
Every hour is the darkest time of the day
And every moment’s a crime
Without your love
And every moment’s a crime
Without your love
And I’m just doing my time
Without your love
And every moment’s a crime

Wanting to be free to celebrate
Reading the latest mask mandate
Ignore the previous masking rules
Join the crowds, be a fool
New variants on the loose
Health or safety, you must choose.
