50 Word Thursday 12-10-20

***

That’s the problem these days, too much recycling and not enough nice trash to sniff. I was just walking around here a couple of days ago and there was a nice smelling, probably still fairly fresh McDonalds bag with half a burger and fries. Now it’s gone. Dang beach cleaners!

Dilemma

Known as a rapscallion in the snowman world

Using ingenious ideas to keep him from melting

Jumped into a chilled bath with ice all-a-swirl

It worked for a while with no sun or sweating

Feeling so pleased while all merry and bright

But even an ice bath doesn’t have a long life

His body soon disappeared with the sun

But while he lasted, it was tons of fun!

MLMM Heeding Haiku with Chèvrefeuille – Celebrations

Slippers quieted

Hushed whispers show excitement

Children peek through locks

🎄🎄🎄

Secrets behind doors

Intrigued hopeful young children

Await Santa’s gifts

🎄🎄🎄

Winter Day

***

Setting the scene of a winter day:

Sun glinting a blinding shine from icy paths

Dogs walking in bright colored sweaters

Furry collars on large hooded jackets

Toddlers struggling to put a carrot nose on the snowman

Their nubby mittens holding sticky snow remnants

Sighs of relief as the last outdoor bulb lights the display

Thankful smiles given to loved ones as winter whispers.

Pouting Prez

As the president fumes

In Whitehouse rooms

With his one pearl of wisdom still in his tooth

Using a hogamadog theory saying vote fitters

Are all frauds and voices it often on Twitter

It’s all BS, disguised in red, white, and blue glitter.

Dictator’s Dream

From: https://www.politico.com/news/2020/12/08/trump-gop-blow-up-443461

***

So much for these United States of America. Trump has done more in his years as president to divide our country than any other human being alive. He relishes and encourages division, conflict and disharmony. It is disappointing and frightening to think of the amount of influence and power he wields.
