The Bag Lady

Stranded on the branch

A fledging contemplates flight

In a swift descent

A classic today–“Jaws”–the original with the greatest theme song ever! To date there are four Jaws movies in all, but like most movies, the first is the best. There are many repeated quotes from this film, one of my favorites is: “You’re gonna need a bigger boat”. The story Quint tells about a ship sinking is based on the true event of the USS Indianapolis.

Encased in soft green

Waiting to show my beauty

I am opened bright

She was finally complacent with his daily operation of the device. It had started as an irritating habit and now he used it constantly. She silently cursed the day the “Clapper” became a useful craft for her La-Z-Boy occupant.

Lace red and black

No confidence lack

Strolled into the room

Watched her client bloom.

Only once he thought

A first time bought

But what he wrought

And when home, they fought.

They say be warned

If a woman you have scorned

He didn’t think, but did the deed

Now it’s a hospital that he needs.

Written by Southey and Grimm

About trouble that children get in

On forest visits they were up to no good

Traveling not where they should

Goldilocks saw no one but some porridge

Helped herself, in a rude forage

Plopped herself on their chairs

Fell asleep on beds belonging to bears.

Hansel and Gretel took their turn

Saw a house of sweets for which they yearned

Eating while a witch watched, but she wasn’t as clever

Tricked her, now she’s in her oven forever.

Children and grandchildren make the most difference in my life. I’ve been troubled by my sister’s health and on a particularly bad morning my granddaughter calls out of the blue and says she’s picking me up after work for dinner and gossip. Pretty funny, but she and her brother did so and afterward we went to buy pots and plants which she immediately repotted for me that evening. They are already starting to bloom! I cannot explain what a difference they make in my mood and outlook. She is the plant guru in the family and a riot😆

I for indomitable for this small beauty. As the snow fell yesterday morning in cold temperatures, she burst forth into the world. A definite sign of hope I am enjoying immensely, thanks to my granddaughter. She planted bulbs in pots in my apartment💓🥰🥳

“Don’t break my heart and set me free

Imprison me with your love

The only way my heart will mend

Is when you return to me.

Chorus:

I loved you right from the start

Now my heart is empty

We should never part again

Come back and love only me.”
