MLMM Saturday Mix – 12-5-20

***

A man with old genes

Was flexing his knees

In a tight pair of jeans

But then he sneezed.

Bent over, started to trip

Heard the sound of a large rip

Flecks of fabric fell all around

The jeans split open, no longer sound.

MLMM First Line Friday 12-4-20

***

The black dog followed them home. The grandfather was hesitant at first, remembering the legend about black dogs, but the children were so excited to see the friendly dog, their pleas were too much for the old man. With their parents now gone, the dog was a welcome and needed surprise.

Immediately drawn to the animal, the children scurried to find him a place in the kitchen. An old horse blanket from the barn would serve as a bed and the new member of the family seemed happy to have it.

Even the other farm animals were friendly to the newcomer, which was unusual. The grandfather didn’t want any problems and the children were so happy, he thought the dog must be an unexpected blessing.

That night as the little ones said their prayers, the grandfather knew it was true.

Fandango’s Friday Flashback – 12-4-20

From December 2016: Chilly Attitude

The tree is up, the gifts unwrapped

Energy’s gone, I’ve been zapped.

Decided to Google a word I don’t know

When I see an alert about snow.

Actually it was more about cold

Only December and it’s already old.

Finally decided to turn up the heat

Cause my legs were freezing, even my feet.

Another day accomplishing nothing

Just doing some cleaning and doing some washing.

I think I have the winter blahs

Not even thinking of Mr. Claus–

Nope, not a thing cheers me tonight

I’m just a sad sack, what a sight.

When what to my wondering eyes should appear?

🦌🦌🦌

Just checking to see if you nodded off hereπŸ˜‰

My mind’s in a quandary how to lift my mood

I could always write a poem that is lewd…

No, that would be very rude,

Think I have a bad attitude.

Flagrant vs Frugal

The wine was flowing

Joyous presents were stowing

Voracious shopping

With no sign of stopping

I think the wassail contributed some

The whimsy of spending not overcome.

#writephoto – Deep – 2017

Pulling out a few oldies for Sue in her absence. Get well soon!

He stared into the cave. It was just as he expected. Deep, dark, lit with a fiery red, oh that was the best part. It was hot and the colors made it seem like it was on fire, but he wasn’t getting burned.

Just as she said; so rewarding to have something fulfilled as promised. He could be happy here, he could find his purpose. He settled in on the stone throne, surveying his part of hell.

Lessons in Nature

In these times of stress we all need an ally. Nature can provide relief as you observe jade hued ocean waves. You may get excited about new possibilities as you see the constant renewal of the sea, ever moving, never stagnant.
