“And I said to him, Joe, don’t be so depressed. Everyone has a bad headache once in a while. But you know Joe, he had to make a big deal out of it.”

“Mama Told me not to Come”
Looking back at Three Dog Night I did not remember they had so many hits I liked listening to. Here’s one for tonight:
Lyrics:
Want some whiskey in your water?
Sugar in your tea?
What’s all these crazy questions they’re askin’ me?
This is the craziest party that could ever be
Don’t turn on the lights ’cause I don’t wanna see
Sugar in your tea?
What’s all these crazy questions they’re askin’ me?
This is the craziest party that could ever be
Don’t turn on the lights ’cause I don’t wanna see
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
“That ain’t the way to have fun, no”
Open up the window, let some air into this room
I think I’m almost chokin’ from the smell of stale perfume
And that cigarette you’re smokin’ ’bout scare me half to death
Open up the window, sucker, let me catch my breath
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
“That ain’t the way to have fun, son”
“That ain’t the way to have fun, son”
The radio is blastin’, someone’s knockin’ at the door
I’m lookin’ at my girlfriend – she’s passed out on the floor
I seen so many things I ain’t never seen before
Don’t know what it is – I don’t wanna see no more
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
She said, “That ain’t the way to have fun, son”
“That ain’t the way to have fun, no”
“That ain’t the way to have fun, no”
“That ain’t the way to have fun, son”
“That ain’t the way to have fun, no”
“That ain’t the way to have fun, son”
“That ain’t the way to have fun, no”
“That ain’t the way to have fun, son”
“That ain’t the way to have fun, no”
“That ain’t the way to have fun, son”

Huey Lewis and friends
A Bee’s Life
To coin a phrase, I would say I was smitten
Your fragrance my dear is never quitting
You draw me in but I cannot stay
I have to flit as it’s almost May
More spring flowers I need to visit
But I’ll never forget your scent so vivid.

MLMM Wordle #229
The sunny breach of the grey fog’s grip made walking down the street a stellar experience. I had my favorite cup of Starbucks in one hand and my jacket in the other. I just smiled thinking it was going to be a great day after all, when round the corner a teenager in a bright red dress came running.
She seemed to be fleeing from someone or some thing and bumped straight into me. My coffee, cel phone and her armful of books all went catawampus and we were lucky to only lose our footing.
Apparently a plaintiff of the nearby bookstore thought she had stolen something and was following close behind her waving his fist and making guttural animal noises. As I attempted to help her up, he came at her, grabbing the books that had fallen on the street. He angrily looked them over and not discovering anything that belonged to him, backed up. He sheepishly apologized and went back to his store.
I then started picking up my own things and saw a small book I didn’t recognize. The book had a new price tag attached and was temporarily hidden under my fallen jacket. Immediately I knew this was the book the store owner was looking for and handed it to the girl. She added it to her armful of books and took off running again.
My coffee was spilled, my jacket was stained and the sun went back into the clouds.

Monday Media
You know I love Outlander, books and series, and this is a delightful humorous look at two of the characters in real life: “Men in Kilts” . A great break from serious drama and I’m sure you will get a laugh or two watching it. Seeing beautiful Scotland is rewarding. So far there are three episodes of the series available on STARZ.

Three Dog Night
It sure is and since I have no dogs at this time I have to use three blankets! And then this from 1971, the year we moved from TX to CO and my daughter was born.

When I heard the lyric “well I’ve never been to heaven” I knew the melody but months ago when these words and tune was in my head, I could not remember the song and all searching for lyrics etc turned up nothing. So when I heard this song tonight I said “Eureka – finally!”😅 Videos have come a long way😀
Carrot Ranch Flash Fiction – Frozen
Frozen food, the worst of online grocery shopping experiences, with my often hitting the wrong letter when trying to order something and end up with frozen entrails instead of frozen entrees. All this online shopping is not user friendly to people in frozen climates where a computer, tablet or horrid phone keyboard requires warm usable non arthritic fingers. I suppose at my age I should just get one of those huge keyboard senior phones, but I digress. It is up to the actual shopper, (egads) to check freshness dates, that it’s not squashed, partially opened or unappetizing looking.

Sammiscribbles Weekend Writing Prompt 2-27-21
He was going to be Joe college all the way, as he stepped onto the campus of Bonkers University in the republic of Texas. According to their brochure everything that ever was made, designed, or created came from Texas. Joe wanted in on that history and hoped to learn all from attending this college. His first stop was the student union to buy some BU kitsch and logo tshirt.

MLMM Saturday Mix – Chocolate
***
Once was a clown who’s name was Poppit
Kept children all happy with chocolate
His mistake on the day
Was too hot, he dismayed
The treats all melted in his pocket.

I’ve always thought limericks were 88558, so found it odd to do this.
