Running on Empty

I’m low on gas, the limerence of words fails to kick in and inspire intelligent thoughts. Sometimes blogging eludes me, even though I always think of it as fun, not work. But I also do not have the pressure of trying to be an author, have no deadlines, no gambit with chapters to finish.

I can’t blame it on the weather for it is a sunny fifty degrees outside. I have shelter, food, clothing and people who love me and I love them. So why so blah? As usual, I have to look for humor. Maybe Gary Larson. . .

Two Prompts

“The devil is in the details, Joe.”

“That’s what you always say, George. Time you think of another.”

“Don’t act all snooty, Joe, we’re getting too old for this”.

The two seasoned detectives forced on the blue plastic gloves and began their forensic search of the crime scene. The position of the bodies interested them most–apparently a romantic tryst of two rodeo clowns.

“Well at least they died with their boots on!”

MLMM Wordle #179 – Institutional Conversation

“Thersitical flailing won’t get you anywhere with me. You may act badly, cry, try to turn away and distance yourself from the problem, but it won’t work! You think you can trade on my sanity, pull me into the ropes of despair like you? You are mistaken.

Maybe after a few weeks in here, you’ll learn how to gain honest friendships, not purchase half relationships with a miserable outcome. You need to act on getting well, and stop living in a fantasy world.

Fandango’s Flashback Friday

MLMM Photo Challenge 3-3-20

Casting me out to be eaten by rats

Pawed over by feralous cats

I was beautiful in my day

No one could pass or walk away

Without first stopping to stare

At the beauty of what I might wear

I understood my time would be brief

But a trash bag container, good grief!

Let There be Storms

Let there be storms.

A life less boring

Is what you need

Why spend all day

To read, sleep and eat

Be passionate, do something new

Don’t take the tiresome view

Sunny calm will do for a while

Be curious, it can make you smile

An even sea voyage may be your norm

But venture out, let there be storms.

3TC – It Was This Big!

A brave sort

Fishing through ice

A chilly sport

But it turned out nice

Could hardly pull in what I caught with my hook

A certain winner for the Guinness book

In my canvas bag it will never fit

I’ll need a trailer for it to sit

Dinner for weeks my mother said

Eating this fish for weeks I dread.

FFFC#55

“Wait, umph, hey!” Was all George could say as he was being transported up and away from the ground. He couldn’t even remember how he arrived in the field in the first place! Was a transporter a real thing? Had he been watching too much Star Trek? All these questions were moot as he suddenly spied Spock holding up his split fingers. 🖖🏼
