Sunday Muse - No Surprise

 

This lipstick is dry and crackled 

Special blend no longer in stores 

Been wearing days and days and days 

Get off my back I see you there 

Lurking and not saying a word 

Take off that little smirk of yours 

Go away go away be gone

I'll not be your mail order bride.

Weekly Scribblings -- The Feeding Table

Troubles

One for me 

One for Sal 

One for you 

None for Bill 

There's room at the table for four 

But there's only spigots for three 

Momma had one more baby than ... 

More than her plumbing had allowed 

Farmer Brown came to our rescue 

He is used to big deals like this 

I'm glad mine won't be the bottle   

And Momma is happy again

  - Rosemary has asked "us to try Realism – which ‘attempts to represent subject matter truthfully, without artificiality.’ It tends to focus on ‘the depiction of ordinary, everyday subjects’ and ‘attempts to represent familiar things as they are’. She invites us to see if we can describe something realistically, in a way that indicates more than what is actually said."
