The Bag Lady

“Wow, this is beautiful! Can you believe these colors? It’s like I’m seeing them for the first time!”

“Yeah, but they’re huge! Where are we anyway? The last thing I remember was being yelled at to weed the garden. Mom hates seeing weeds in here.”

“She sure does, and we hate pulling them!” Jerry laughed as he and his younger brother Tom looked closer at their surroundings. “Everything is huge, bigger than I remember, it’s scary!”

Stepping around the bright blooms, they came face to face with a large inquisitive ant. Looking the two boys up and down, the insect passes by. The boys freaked out and grabbed onto each other in fright.

“Was that what I think it was?” Jerry nodded in shock. The reality of their adventure hit them both at the same time. . .”we shrunk!”

Earlier, the curious pair had found a bottle that said “drink me”.

New to the yard and trying to keep out of Biggie the Mauler’s sight, Joe meandered down to the cluster of nerdy guys, thinking he could relate. Most of them were accountants or computer geeks in for tax evasion. As he approached the chess board, he wondered how they managed a game with only four pawns.

I take it all back!

Yes, I lied! I did know the threat was real! Yes, I bailed out my friend’s corporations!

Can I come home now?

Stir the cauldron with herbs aplenty

Now that you’re over seventy

A brew that will make you safe

Cure that cold, itch or chafe

Rub it in or drink it down

You’ll be the healthiest one around!

Okay, Joe, you took enough of a break, get back to work!

But Jeff, I’m working overtime already and not getting paid for it!

Amazon doesn’t care for courtesy in times of crisis. Fill those boxes, pronto!

Family is the thriving tree

Countless branches that can be seen

Ancestors of royal blood

Settlers surviving floods

Salem witches of ill repute

History we dare not refute

Yes, our tree has them all

I wonder how saplings will recall

Our current situation, rise or fall

Historical facts written down

Where many different seeds were sown.

From grassy meadow

A dreamscape vista ahead

Imagination

Soaring into the distance

My mind conceives a story

Did you hear that an eighty year old woman was arrested yesterday? She was caught in a “walk by grabbing” at ChikFilA, putting those tiny disinfectant wipe packets in her purse.

JK – this is how my mind works.

Good day! It’s sunny and fifty degrees here in Cheyenne, Wyoming. A few new virus infections since yesterday, but if you believe Trump – say it isn’t so! – it will all be over by Easter. Oh well, as long as the corporations are bailed out. . .who cares about the rest of us?

On a more positive note, I have leftover chicken and dumplings for dinner today, still sipping coffee and snap chatted my mess (one liner Wednesday) to my grandkids asking them, here’s mine, let’s see yours. I shocked Elaine, aka the neatest woman on earth, with my messy post, but reminded her I live on my bed most of the time–chairs are only comfortable for a short time. So people, let’s see your mess!

It seems to me that March is going fast. And unlike most of you, I am used to the isolation, so how are you doing? Are your days dragging on? Stay well!🤗
