The Bag Lady

Trump’s taxes may be coming to the light of day, just like every other American citizen. And here is an interesting point:

Are the chickens coming home to roost? I certainly hope so.

Jolted awake, she thought, what in the world’s going on? It felt like there was a ball being bounced around in her head.

The upstairs apartment neighbors had decided to move in the middle of the night. Loud noises of a barking dog, running around wondering what was happening, scraping furniture and a jangling metal stairway full of up and down activity. Anything metal sent a tingle sound up and down its railing, causing the dog to whine.

What had been an even keel of quietness from neighbors previously, now was a beehive of noise. Then she wondered why the middle of the night? The volume of activity with so many people at once grew louder. Suddenly her ceiling plaster started to crack. She dialed the apartment maintenance office, but no answer. Finding increasing pieces of ceiling fluttering around her room, she dialed 911. They thought she was making it up.

Gathering a blanket around her, she made it outside to the parking lot before her ceiling partially fell. Apparently new neighbors moving in decided to house their motorcycles in the bedroom above hers. No wonder they were doing it in the dark. . .what a disaster!

Keep’n handy just in case

Might be more you need erase

Thoughts, memories sometimes bleak

Hide the good ones trying to peek

Through to today, do not fear

Your mind will always keep them near

Concentrate on the now

And what the new allows.

Reaching for that crystal ball

Foreteller in the sky

The storm raging here below

What future do you spy?

So Jerry, when you said we’re going to see a new concert with the Beatles repertoire, I didn’t think it would be this!

So you don’t like instrumentals?

Roasted chicken vapor

Anxious pets stir from their naps

Denied taste, they yowl.

This song has a haunting chorus, “Stay” sung by Rihanna. I have used it before with the original video, now just the lyrics.

Silence fell over the large group of consultants. Hearing the lies of their president once again and knowing the crisis was imminent, they were fraught with worry. His probe coverup was not working; there were too many reliable leaks. He played the “I never did that” card one too many times and even previous supporters were now viewing him with disgust.

Their own reputations were sullied and some were faced with either a man-up or a cry for them to resign.

Since basketball season is revving up, I chose another favorite sports movie, “Hoosiers”, starring Gene Hackman and Dennis Hopper.

Full of himself

No one could tame

Finally everyone

Knew his name

Throwing tantrums

Tossing blame

Causing his country’s

Embarrassed shame

Legends of him will be written

While his followers are still smitten.
