The Bag Lady

Yup, I’ve got one….people moving onto the second floor who have large dogs and run and play with them all night. Yes, folks I have a new upstairs neighbor with a big dog. Playing wouldn’t peeve me as much as its barking. Yesterday after a big play session, the dog was left alone and never stopped barking. Even headphones couldn’t stop me from hearing it. At one in the morning, can’t you take your dog outside to play? Ever heard of dog parks, or walking your dog? Yikes. If this continues I’ll be forced to make a complaint. I’ll give it a week or two and then I’m done.

Keep on talking

You’re quite verbose

Not realizing

The words you chose

Would dig you deeper

Reveal yourself

We now see

You’re not a keeper

Keep on tweeting

Private thoughts

Opening our eyes

To what you’re not

Just keep on

Then we’ll all see

What a disgusting

Presidency.

I am a Bourne fan, love Matt Damon as JB. This movie, “The Bourne Legacy” features another favorite of mine, Jeremy Renner as a character involved in the same type of government program. If you like chase scenes as much as I do, you will not be disappointed. ☺️

The piercing sound of a single shot rang out, followed by a grunt and then the saddening wail. A mass of black dots flashed up against the blue sky, now littered with tiny birds. Suddenly the wind stirred me and my phobia of seeing the beautiful animal destroyed shook me. I was chilled not only by the breeze but the sight before me.

What level of desperation must I seek to please my father? Accompanying him on his weekend hunting trips was one of the keys to satisfy him. Why did I need his stamp of approval at the age of twenty?

These questions flooded my mind as I leaned on the fence rail awaiting the nausea to pass. The sight sickened me as always, but he knew that. He pulled up the head of the deer, insisting I look. Laying it back down on the leaves, he stroked its head as if to offer some type of appeasement. I wondered if it was for the deer or me.

Looking sweet

Soft, cuddly

I was sure Johnny Cash was my choice but decided on a really oldie instead: “Chattanooga Choo Choo”.

Room 53 again, she thought, wondering if the old actress would remember her today. She had been summoned by the over bell as usual, at ten fifteen on the dot, interrupting her morning break.

Entering the room to a welcoming “There you are, my favorite nurse. How are you, dear?” Glad to see the woman was coherent for now, Colleen happily responded.

“I am feeling fine today, Miss Jones, and happy to find you looking well this morning.”

The nurse walked over and adjusted the woman’s pillows and pulled the afghan over her knees. “What are you planning to do today, Miss Jones?”

“I’m glad you asked me that Colleen. I need you to check my chiffon gown to see if it needs pressing. I have the Oscars tonight, you know, and must look my best. Being a star takes effort to look your best. Did the Harry Winston jewels arrive yet?”

The trip intended

Dastardly deed accomplished

A downslope tumble

With no lovely springiness

Act revealing jealousy

Say what you will, but I’m literally not buying it. In fact, I take umbrage at this ultimatum! His initial request, some say a “campaign promise that got him elected”, which is offensive in itself, still boggles my mind. Now he’s using military funds to build the wall? It’s irritating enough that he’s using soldiers to man it, in the first place!
