I really don’t see many commercials, but here are a couple I thought funny:

Rory’s The Really You #3
😀😄😃🤪🥴😊😅😂🤣
What makes you laugh, as in really laugh hard?
I have lots of fun laughing at movies with my grandkids or when we all get together and someone brings up an event from years ago. An example is when my son and his wife and my husband and I were playing Cranium. My husband was not a game player but inadvertently made some of the most hilarious pantomimes–one of my favorite memories of him.
What makes you really angry?
Of course the last few years of the presidency have made me angry every single day. It’s frustrating to think he’s still in that position affecting so many people with his actions. Apathy for our fellow man today is very disturbing.
Who really knows you best?
I’m pretty open and honest, here and in my life in general. I usually don’t mince words, so what you see is what you get. My daughter, my youngest, probably knows me best since we have spent more time together than the rest of my family. Yikes! This reminds me of one of the Smothers Brother’s skits, “Mom Always Liked you Best” which my three kids loved to listen to.
❤️🙄❤️😳❤️🤓❤️🤯❤️
CCC#54
The ivory walls held many secrets, but the true purpose of this hall was evident in the bloody indelible stain.

Word of the Day: Daft
You can say it, I must be daft
Watched some of the impeachment draft
I have to say, seems there’s no craft
In droning repetition of questions asked
Asked and answered I would say
But not a courtroom with rules per say
No, my friends or enemies you may be
It’s hard to take this seriously.
While in breaks they show the prez
Lying continuously about it, says
“See? I told you no quid pro quo
Documents? I will not show
You really don’t need to know
Just me and Giuliani, that good old boy
Understand the whole (plot) ploy.
Rest assured I’ll win the day
Let’s see, who did I forget to pay?”

MLMM Wordle #158
The tired squeak of brakes was a familiar sound at the bus stop. It was a brittle cold morning and the huff of hot breath flowed from the passengers as the snow slurry fell on their shoulders. A lacuna formed between the able bodied young ones and the slow cluck of the old.
The bus drivers devoir was to make sure every passenger was safely loaded and sitting before he started up again. A few tousled haired teenagers boarded for home neighborhoods; their group playing dizzying music loudly. Newspaper carrying elders softly settled into their usual seats and the laptop commuters took the rear seats trying not to be disturbed as they hurried to finish up last minute business on their way home.
The bus line carried a plush assortment of passengers from different walks of life and once the vehicle started chugging along its practiced route, they all fell into their own familiar spots.

Crow’s Wisdom
New hope for the kingdom
She poised and awesome
The crow had told her now was the time
His wise views were told in rhyme
Good visions were finally coming true
The world would be seen from his view
Destruction and greed he saw from above
She would cure with her godlike love
The crow made his choice and now she reigns
The world would be safe and loving again.

It was the big day. Every reporter worth his salt was going to be there. It was the first day of the new regime. Everyone was looking forward to it, interested to see a new leader with a refreshing persona in the round rotunda. Joe was beyond excited. It was his first very important assignment, and to be in the front row? He could hardly believe it himself!
He rushed through his shower, gulped coffee, practically choked on the hotel breakfast, but now he sat down in a chair and took deep breaths. This is it, he thought, my big break. After a few calming breaths, Joe donned his suit coat and grabbed his briefcase. He wanted to be early.
He walked into the press room, almost giddy with the thought he finally made it to the big time. He slowly sat in his assigned seat, and the lights flickered, indicating the object of interest would be arriving. A hush came over the chatty group and the side door opened with secret service men walking in. Joe reached for his notes. And in came the new idea, the fresh presence of government. Everyone in the room was shocked, jaws dropped, and cameras clicked away. Who would have thought this was the new choice?

Tuesday Writing Prompt

She sat down opposite him in the bedroom. Tears flowing freely from Jack as he finished packing his belongings. His growing anger was obvious when he threw his clothing in his bags. He had invested two years into this relationship only to find her with another. “I never mattered much to you, did I?”
Sue sat rigid, but was glad to see him go. It was time to be her real self, not posing as his lover. After he left, she texted her friend, Jane. “He’s gone, where shall we meet?”

DMV Distress
Saving up for ten years, Joey had the cash to buy his dream car. He had a job, earning money for his dream, since the age of fourteen. Now was his chance to make it come true. There was only one thing left to do, get a driver’s license.
Studying the manual for days, Joey thought he was ready. He was inwardly scared, but only showed a brave face to the officials. The final step came and he seated himself in his mom’s old Chevy station wagon. He was used to driving with his dad, who had a Toyota Corolla, a smaller vehicle with a standard transmission. He had driven the station wagon a few times and it was an automatic transmission, so he figured it would be a piece of cake.
The driver’s test official slid into his side of the bench seat and told Joey to start. Nervously, Joey turned the ignition key and showed audible relief as the car started up. The vehicle was large but the test went smoothly and the only remaining part of the test was parallel parking. Joey was not used to the size of “the beast” as his mom called it, and mistakenly thought he could park with ease.
After three attempts to park, and the last getting too close to a parked vehicle, causing a scratch, Joey’s test was done. He would have to return to retake the driver portion with his dad’s car, but being shaken from the experienced fail, he would take his time to practice more.

I’ve been at the peak
Beautiful views from the top
The valley beckons
Too much of a good thing pales
Enjoy the lesser triumphs
