Heavy or lite
Gastronomical delight
Even adults will fight
Whether which is right
I prefer either in a stack with height.

Terrible Poetry Contest
***
I lament, bewail and fear
Trump policies I now hear
What matter of evils he doth spout
I prithee, throw the blackguard out!
From whence come his knotty-pated brain
A puzzle remains to solve in vain
Churlish speech is swaggered here
While grave notes prepend the mace’s fear.

CCC#42 – Forgotten – Tetractys
Scraps
Cast-offs
Useless husks
Disregarded
As unwanted leavings of earth’s bounty.

FOWC: Abnormal
Perfect for my mini rant today! Abnormal deviant behavior once again from our joke of a president. Now undermining our representatives, employees and service personnel that not only help and protect the US, but people all over the world. Now they are told their children will not be US citizens if born where the parent is currently stationed? Every time I think he can’t reach down and dredge up any more disgusting hate for anyone except himself, here we go again.

Check this out!
Another Trump policy that undermines our troops and government employees overseas. What is he thinking? It boggles the mind!🤯

Three Line Tales #187 – Sole Decisions
Well, what do you think?
It’s a good sale, but my Skechers do me well, and they’re hardly visible under our robes, anyway, so what’s the big deal?
I think my pink and purple ones clash with my red garments.

3TC – Errant Behavior
Today’s prompt: nightmare, oatmeal, gin
He complained again, “I hate this gruel” and I sympathized but what could I do? The doctor said feeding my father his favorite bacon and eggs breakfast, tasty and appealing, would be errant behavior on my part. I had to take the doctor’s advice: orange juice and oatmeal. Watching my dad’s health was my job. We had been together for the past five years after my mother’s passing. His health was my main concern.
“Eating this blah food everyday. . .its a nightmare! You might as well kill me now. I’m old, I miss your mother, and her cooking. If I could do it myself, I’d have something with taste to it!”
I heard this complaint every day; but he was my dad, and I was a dutiful daughter. He was not healthy and at his age, I felt it was time to change things up a bit. The next morning, I sat the all too familiar fare in front of him again. He looked up at me as if to say, please, I can’t do this, but drank the juice. After the first sip, drank slowly on this morning, almost savoring it. Then he took a spoonful of gruel. He smiled. I hadn’t seen a smile on his face in weeks, and he dipped the spoon again.
Surprising what a little gin can do to liven up a meal.
