Today I am thankful for rain. Yes I’m sure you think it’s weird but without rain crops won’t grow, livestock and all of us won’t have water. Rain is needed.
The acrostic words today are DUNCE as it’s Dunce Day and HARVEY WALLBANGER as it’s Harvey Wallbanger Day.
The dunce acrostics came easy. All I had to do is think about some people I’ve met over the years. Now if you are insulted and think it’s you, I’m sorry if you think you might be a dunce. I’m certain we all know a dunce or two. Enough I think I’ve said.
I was quite interested in Harvey Wallbanger so I Googled to research. Interesting information on how the cocktail came about. In my acrostic I used the story I thought most interesting which was the surfer. Of course it possibly is a myth but then again who knows. I do know I’ve had a few in my time as it was a drink of when I was in my twenties. Every decade it seems has a drink or two that is popular. I remember Cosmos being popular but I never hear about them anymore.
Need to know more about the Harvey Wallbanger Google as I found it interesting read.
Until tomorrow....have a blessed Sunday band as always Stay Safe.

THANKFUL REFLECTIONS Day 8
Today I’m thankful for RAIN. Yes it’s a much needed thing. I know sometimes too much is destructive but without it crops won’t grow. This thankful is a shoot off from yesterday’s which was FARMERS. I know some of complain about the rainy days we have during the summer, but rain is a must.

DUNCE I

Dunce is an individual incapable of learning
Unfortunately I’ve met many who fit the bill
Nincompoop that can never think straight
Cause they believe what the media tells
them
Especially when it comes to politics

DUNCE II

Don’t be a dunce, you need to think for
yourself
Unfortunately many do not, they go with
the masses
Ninnys who believe all they hear, makes
them a blockhead
Checking facts first, they never will do
Especially on important issues that can
affect them

HARVEY WALLBANGER
© Scottie-ann Murphy
Harvey was his last name
And his first was Tom
Really stressed out from a bad surfing day
Vodka, orange juice and Galliano, he
ordered
Essentially a screwdriver with Italian liqueur
floating on top
Yet Tom Harvey, it is said the drink is named
after
Walls he did then stagger into
After consuming way too many of these
concoctions
Like most stories, this probably a myth
Little fact that the drink created by another
source
But who am I to say what’s correct or not
As all drinks, someone somewhere invented
it
No longer popular or ordered as in the
1970’s
Gone by the wayside as an Old Fashion
Each decade has its popular cocktail
Remembering having a few, what was I
thinking
