THANKFUL MONTH....Day Eight


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 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

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 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
