my lunch will be brunch.

Rhyming is my thing lately

OM45GE - Posted - 07/16/2022:  13:09:46

because I was a poet and didn’t know it.

Then I realized

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 07/16/2022:  17:29:48

this was two for one day at Grim Jim’s bar.

So

OM45GE - Posted - 07/16/2022:  17:46:37

, having reached Jim’s limit, I knew better than to press my luck.

I quietly

chuckv97 - Posted - 07/17/2022:  00:00:10

shuffled to the men’s room and wretched , causing the bar flies to laugh uproariously.

Jim threw his wife a mop

OM45GE - Posted - 07/17/2022:  02:51:43

and told her to beat me about the head and shoulders with it.

She and I

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 07/17/2022:  05:53:15

we’re classmates in high school.

One time

chuckv97 - Posted - 07/17/2022:  10:18:35

I passed her a note asking for a rendezvous at midnight.

She reported me

OM45GE - Posted - 07/17/2022:  14:21:15

to our English teacher because my grammar was so poor.

I got a detention, but

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 07/17/2022:  17:22:21

talked my way out of it by pretending I had a toothache.

I wonder

OM45GE - Posted - 07/18/2022:  03:25:42

if things would have turned out better for me if I had paid attention in school.

It’s not

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 07/18/2022:  06:45:43

lack of IQ or indifference or focus problems that caused my inattentiveness, it was the dreaded ADHD.

No matter how hard

chuckv97 - Posted - 07/18/2022:  10:31:07

I tried I couldn’t remember what ADHD stood for.

I’ve lived a sheltered life

OM45GE - Posted - 07/18/2022:  15:48:19

, if you can call living in a truck sheltered.

I know I decided

chuckv97 - Posted - 07/18/2022:  20:48:02

to base all decisions on hunches heretofore.

My subconscious mind knows

OM45GE - Posted - 07/19/2022:  03:13:07

better than my conscious self.

That’s why I try

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 07/19/2022:  09:39:10

ignore the expectations put upon me by society, and instead march to the beat of my own drum.

The trouble

chuckv97 - Posted - 07/19/2022:  09:59:20

is I’ve never been good at marching, or dancing for that matter.

I have gomerpylitis

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 07/19/2022:  12:18:01

and no one seems to know what the heck that is or how to treat it.

My neighbor

chuckv97 - Posted - 07/19/2022:  18:33:50

resides next door in a broken down Winnebago.

He’s always on his HAM radio

OM45GE - Posted - 07/20/2022:  02:40:58

hoping to make contact with Porky Pig.

He doesn’t understand

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 07/20/2022:  04:09:06

that regular yard maintenance goes a long way toward promoting good will amongst neighbors.

Recently

chuckv97 - Posted - 07/20/2022:  08:37:08

he made dandelion wine.

Now all I hear

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 07/20/2022:  12:26:04

is his drunken attempts at reproducing classical music on his bagpipes accompanied by a self-recorded backing track of accordion music.



I truly wish

he would find a more secluded place to practice.

I’m having a hard time

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 07/21/2022:  05:11:42

busting a grumpy lately.

I think the cheese

chuckv97 - Posted - 07/21/2022:  06:27:42

in Wisconsin has taken a dip in the stock market.

My portfolio

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 07/21/2022:  08:06:14

has shrunk to the point where I actually owe money to the companies in which I invested.

Not only

OM45GE - Posted - 07/22/2022:  02:23:51

that, but now the Internal Revenue Service is questioning my deductions for banjo strings.

It seems

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 07/22/2022:  05:18:36

like I get no respect.

When I

chuckv97 - Posted - 07/22/2022:  08:40:16

walk into an elevator it automatically takes me to the basement.

I walked into a bar

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 07/22/2022:  09:16:52

, the bartender says; “What’ll you have?”, I said surprise me…..then he showed me a naked picture of my wife.

One time

OM45GE - Posted - 07/22/2022:  17:26:08

was once too often at that bar.

Every time I go back there

chuckv97 - Posted - 07/22/2022:  17:34:11

they say, “Are you back already?!”

I think I’ll just make my own

OM45GE - Posted - 07/23/2022:  03:13:49

time machine and travel back to a simpler era.

That will

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 07/23/2022:  06:25:59

certainly ease my tensions and frustrations brought about by todays misguided society.

I remember

OM45GE - Posted - 07/23/2022:  06:53:21

what I was trying to remember but I’ve forgotten who I wanted to tell about it.

Maybe

chuckv97 - Posted - 07/23/2022:  08:20:56

a good blast of a 180* sauna followed by a dip in icy Lake Superior will restart my mojo.

I’ve kicked over my old Triumph motosickle 23 times

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 07/23/2022:  12:44:06

but I got tired of picking it back up again.

That left me

OM45GE - Posted - 07/24/2022:  04:32:02

feeling more than a little discouraged.



I had been hoping

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 07/24/2022:  07:27:10

against all odds and to no avail, that I would win the BHO monthly giveaway.

I think

chuckv97 - Posted - 07/24/2022:  08:24:01

my PM’s to Eric were a bit presumptuous.

I might join the BHO Union

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 07/24/2022:  16:00:31

when Eric offers size 2XL-tall sized BHO shirts for me to buy.

Currently

OM45GE - Posted - 07/24/2022:  16:55:11

my t-shirt collection is more than adequate.

In fact, I

chuckv97 - Posted - 07/24/2022:  17:16:25

fly a couple or three from my flagpole every day.

I cycle them on a monthly program

OM45GE - Posted - 07/25/2022:  03:43:34

trying not to repeat either themes or color schemes.

My closet

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 07/25/2022:  05:41:54

is filled with spiffy clothes that I rarely wear.

I prefer

OM45GE - Posted - 07/25/2022:  06:19:58

my comfy old standbys which my wife refers to as “those ratty old things.”

I don’t care

chuckv97 - Posted - 07/25/2022:  07:14:40

if she wears track pants and high heels.

She says it’s a mini-soda thing
