The Bag Lady

Being the abstemious sort

Gladly gifted his host with some port

The problem arose

When his host shed his clothes

And turned to his guest for some sport.

A spring daffodil

Bright yellow in a greeting

With a scent so strong

A forever reminder

Of childhood days on a farm

Thought he was being nice, rolling the dice, hoping to entice with a contraband spice, but paid the price when she called vice.

Rainy days look sad

Thrill seeing blooming results

Spring consequence

Deciding travel was the key

He booked a trip to Italy

His mask adorned

His ticket stub shorn

His choices satisfied pleasantly

The trouble was

He overindulged

Couldn’t fit into his return seat.

W for why? Why in the world do all devices and programs want to update every five minutes? I just get used to doing things one way and it’s changed overnight! It is the most frustrating thing to me.

When I had to return to using my android phone the keyboard was changed and I’ve tried everything to get back the one I like. The return arrow has disappeared and now the word next is there. It’s not the same thing! Why?

For example, if using my phone, I wanted to put an emoji here, I couldn’t skip down to type another sentence. If I push next it goes down past the photo or subtitle, not as a return would. Why?🥴

Blogging used to be my days’ beginning, reading everyone’s, writing my own, having a good time doing it. I don’t know what’s happened but I think my creative side was tired of the lockdown, found no inspiration, and just left the neighborhood. I’m sure sleepless nights and being cooped up is part of the reason any muse I might have had disappeared.

Thanksgiving eve was the day he read the ransom note. It had been two days since the perpetrator decided to send his demands to force the small business to complete his plan. The four turkey feathers were a warning. The butcher was ordered to pay one hundred dollars for each turkey and the turkeynapper would release the fowl back into the butcher’s possession. The shop owner was on the edge of distress when law enforcement decided to step in. The full grown turkeys were returned unharmed just in time for butchering.

Hoping some vagrant would cross his path, Joe trekked around the outskirts of the forest. The beauty of the surroundings were never enough to change his frame of mind. Joe considered himself fortunate if he spotted a trespasser on his land, his favorite prey.

Inconstant cooking skills caused discord in their marriage. He tried to remain tight lipped, but the frequent gurgle from his stomach made that difficult. In every dish she used olive oil as a solvent and his pipes were suffering. A dish that used to be yummy now turned into a reverse texture that his digestive system couldn’t handle. The clang of the dinner bell was ringing on deaf ears.
