“Don’t bother me with that trivia now, yes it is an idyllic setting, and yes I’d like to live here, but that isn’t the point! We have a job to do! What? Lost the note, and your cel? How can we tell which room he’s in, they all look alike!”

If I wake up feeling offie
It’s my penchant to reach for coffee
In the middle of night feeling edgy
A coffee might soothe feeling fledgy
I also have a penchant for the odd
Word that written may appear flawed
It’s fun to explore the spelling and rhymes
All in an effort to achieve some smiles.

Home, where every heart should be.
Rare words come to mind
The difficult to utilize kind
Wracked my brain and only found
Three poor examples bound
To destroy this historic day
Trump, O’Brien and Meadows, Ole!

Immigrants think they ascend to milk and honey, and then descend to sour curds. They arrive with hope and realize despair. The world is upside down.
Toss the idea of sleep, fireworks abound. Much louder and more prevalent tonight and days on will continue. This will be the first year not setting up at the park with blankets and soccer balls waiting for the city display. No matter how cool the kids get as they grow, including me, the oohs and aahs do not cease😃.
Friday, the 3rd would have been my 54th wedding anniversary, so I’ll try to enjoy the 4th, still remembering watching fireworks over Lake Champlain on our honeymoon.
The old man roused himself from his bedding and fished out the pocket watch from his pajamas. He was shocked to see it was almost noon.
“What in tarnation? Martha! Why didn’t you wake me? It’s almost lunch time and I haven’t even done the milking! This alarm gadget is useless!”
“No worries, dear, George did the milking and let you sleep in and rest after your hard work yesterday. Bringing in hay is no longer a chore you should be doing.”
“Nonsense! I can still wield a pitchfork as good as any man! If it wasn’t for this dang contraption, I wouldn’t have been so tardy. Where’s a good old rooster crow when you need it? I think I’ll go down to Frank’s and see if he has one to spare. At least they are reliable!”

Putting My Feet in the Dirt 3 and Daily Addictions Prompt: Gigantic
They gathered at the fence surrounding the Capitol. It was the night of July 4, 2018, a day that “will live in infamy”, or so John Q. Public imagined it would be. Finally his followers, the vigilant vigilantes, would see justice done. Their voices would be heard, the uprising creating havoc and wonderment seen by all as they revealed themselves.
It was almost time. The crowd of resistance fighters started to anxiously move about, sweating in Washington DC humidity and heat of the day. Then their fearless leader, John Q., raised his arms and the crowd cheered. The members stripped naked in unison, revealing red white and blue painted stripes covering their bodies. Ladies swooned and children gasped at the sight.
The most surprising part of all was the release of a gigantic balloon as the accommodating breeze slowly carried the president’s effigy toward the building. As it floated closer to the Capitol building, leaflets spewed from the mouth of the effigy. Pamphlets written in red and white and blue ink saying, “free the people!” And of course other statements not privy to this reporter at the time.
And from somewhere in the hour before the fireworks blew, music of olden patriotic songs incited the crowd to put their hands on their hearts and sing. Their voices only slightly, for a second or two, were heard by “their” president as he lay in his bed chamber, furiously tweeting “the Democrats led by former President Obama are trashing my yard!”

What else more qualifies for this word than this face? My apologies everyone.😖. Maybe he’s looking in the mirror?
