GSG: I have arrived, and am ready for my questions!

Mike: Who are you, and how did you get in here?

GSG: Countless creature have asked me those exact questions! What do I usually answer? . . . Nothing!

Mike: Um, okay? Then why did you come?

GSG: Ah, now you are…[Read more]

So, from an old homeschool fogey such as myself, graduation was awesome! (The part that what my shrivel elderly gray matter can remember of two years ago.) Friends, families, cards with money, food. . . and the dreaded speech. Oh, how horrible that speech was! After taking college speech, I look back upon it and, well. . . 🤐

IT. WAS. BAD.

Also,…[Read more]

NP, I recommend next time sitting on Earth’s shoulder, or better yet, in one of it’s Mother Nature’s pockets. It’s a lot harder to fall from those positions.

What an epic Hot Wheels battle I just had!!! Who would have imagined that the black and red Lotus Concept would have survived to the very end! Beating the green and blue Country Club Muscle™ by literally trapping it against my floor mat, and box of pennies/rocks, then smashing the poor CCM to oblivion!!! 🏎️

*Magnificent Facade Lizard Guy drops from the ceiling*

Greetings! I am the Magnificent Facade Lizard Guy! Quite a mouthful, but if it were pizza, you wouldn’t mind. Bane of a bad guys that is I! Terror of grammar teachers, sorry by the way. I also am also mute!!! Yep, you heard that right, mute! So, “How in the wide world  are you speaking?”…[Read more]

Thank you citizens for your assistance! Up! UP! AND AWAY!!!

@freedomwriter76 * I fills traffic cone with ice-cream, then give it to the gibbon gang leader. He salutes me then @freedomwriter76, and run away cackling, leading his band of goons.*

@whalekeeper *licks clipboard* Sorry, but I don’t think it tastes good enough. *Hands clipboard to one of the rabid gibbon who promptly clips it to my poor nose.*

@mineralizedwritings Don’t worry, you don’t have to. I just realized that Crested Gibbons aren’t monkeys, they are apes. So, instead of the hairdryer I need a traffic cone!!!

@freedomwriter76 Well that’s nice, but I still need that hairdryer!  I can only hold these Crested Gibbons back for so long! 😬

The monkeys are in the pizza parlor! Grab a hairdryer!!! 🙉

@mineralizedwritings The post set off your alarms too?
I did do a little research on the guy, and found very little on this “top book cover illustrator in the UK” 🤨 On the upside, I went to where his links supposedly go to, and the website seems legit.

My guess from the website is that we…[Read more]

Um, not really. . . I think. Generally, I don’t know how my poem is going to end. I start with an idea or a couple of words/lines that I think are cool, then I just embellish and add stuff. Sometimes it flows. Sometimes it doesn’t.

I have a pretty good sense of rhythm (A blessing and a curse), and I have noticed that my poetry seems to…[Read more]

I need to have someone else to act a tad touched in the head, so that folks don’t think I’m the only one mad as a March hare! 🤪🐰😜

Assassin black
nose in the sky
with muscles vast
his voice cry “Fie!”
Who’s ravens rage
and thunders roll
fear and fright
fall at his call.

Bane of the books
Featherwig tales
KP trembles
at his hails.
Do not speak
of this yarn
or a sharp shaft
will do you harm.

He shows once more
at our shacks
knocks down the…[Read more]

@esther-c

Yep! It sound interesting. I might enjoy beta reading any scuffles or skirmishes!
