Welcome to ….
Not Just My Verse, Your Two Two Too!

Rory (A Guy Called Bloke) graciously tagged me to continue this aging process, like I need help. Below, I’ll tag the next victim, er, poet/writer, to carry on…with the poem. 😉

Once the poem [Verse] leaves my blog, the next blogger along can take it where ever they want with regards their own four line verse but always staying on topic.

Got it?  Remember to tag another poet to keep it going!!
Topic: The Ageing Process


The Wrong Side of 40

Rory’s Bit

Oh!
How l wish, that when l was younger,
My parents had been somewhat bolder,
Concerning the ageing process and the wonders,
Blunders, pitfalls and perils of getting older!

Dorinda’s Bit

Wrinkles in my skin have begun to bloom
I dare not look in the mirror much longer
Mom once said, child, you can forego this doom
Honestly, she couldn’t have been any wronger

 

My Tag Along is to Walt Page, The Tennessee Poet

She tried to play the comedienne

When her writing, she forgot, again

Gave teacher excuses

Blamed it on the Muses

Claiming their words got stuck in her pen

The Joys of Spam ~ Amusing Comments

Ah, Spam, don’t waste your love on somebody, who doesn’t value it (sorry, Shakespeare).

No, I’m not talking about that disgusting canned stuff that campers (like my husband) keep in case of an emergency (no emergency could get me to eat that). I’m speaking of the delightful fun of checking our spam comments. You see, the need to do so arises because some of our followers wind up in there (tsk tsk Akismet). We can only hope they realize we are not ignoring them. So without further ado….

Apparently I have a great deal of knowledge pertaining to dreaming. This from someone who seldom sleeps, if dreams. I’m amused. I also use green seaweed in my salad. That could attribute to the fresh content, but no, appears I don’t have that either. Maybe purchasing generic Cialis or Viagra would perk up my blog. That should get a rise out of it, don’t ya think? And who knew? I totally missed the donation button option because so many people claim they would definitely donate to my blog. To think, I could be a millionaire without writing a word! And last but certainly not least, if I ever give up writing (not a chance) I can always become a porn star. 😉

And so ends this entry on the most ludicrous things you can find when sifting through spam. Hope this gave you a giggle as I certainly had a good time, especially wondering what these people do in real life!!

To all of you, thank you so very much for your wonderful comments.  I love them all, and you, too!!  ❤

What do the clouds say?

We all need an escape, from the mundane political crap that’s spewed upon us on a daily basis, whether via the news on TV or any of your social media feeds, and of course the ever dramatic wedding industry.  When I saw this go by in my Facebook feed, via my friend Kitryn Marie, I couldn’t resist sharing it.  It’s brought about giggles from friends both publicly & privately, with some asking if I was hinting at a specific person.  The answer is no, no one specific and everyone specific.

Let’s face it.  We’ve all done it.  If you say you haven’t, you’re lying!   We sit out in our backyards, or glance out a car window, and we look UP.  Not at the sun, directly, but at the clouds.  And you know you’ve found yourself wondering if you might catch a shape of something floating by.  People have claimed to see anything from the devil himself, to horses, to hearts, to an angel playing a harp.  Either they have very vivid imaginations, are on some powerful drugs or they simply want to believe a cloud is more than a visible mass of liquid droplets or frozen crystals made of water or various chemicals suspended in the atmosphere above the surface of a planetary body.

Whatever fuels us, we’ve all done it.  And we’ll continue to do it.  But you do have to wonder..are the clouds looking down and wondering what shapes they’re seeing?  Now, about those moons…..
