It’s Saturday, let the weekend begin. Today I am thankful to have books and more books.
I enjoy reading. I’ve always have. I’d rather read at times then watch tv. In books I get caught up in the story line of what actions
are taking place. In a series I’m like a good friend of the character waiting to see what’s happening next in their life.
Today’s acrostics deal with it being PICKLE Day. I’m a fan of pickles. I do not care if they are sweet or sour; garlicky or have a tang to them. I enjoy them all. I do like a pickle with my Bloody Mary whether it be dill or a Gerkin. As for pickle martini a nice baby dill goes best I think.
Today’s also NATIONAL AMERICAN TEDDY BEAR DAY. I wrote a piece that popped into my head after I set my teddy bear on the bed this morning. It’s not an acrostic but a whimsical composed item.
The final piece was a request from the individual who put out the monthly acrostic challenge. As one of the others in the challenge is getting married today. Terry asked about doing an acrostic for them using a word such as wedding, marriage or the couples name. I used NUPTIALS.
I thought about what one says to a couple on their wedding day and I recall few I had composed before. It was indeed a challenge to convey my thoughts in this piece; I only know him through being Facebook friends.
Until tomorrow....have a pickle today; hug your teddy Bear; and as always Stay Safe.

PICKLES I

(For Pickle Day)
Pickles can be sour or sweet
It depends on which you prefer
Cucumbers fermented in brine
Know I have no specific favorite
Let me have extra with my sandwich
Especially a good dill chip with a burger
Still I’ll take any type, they’re all good

(For Pickle Day)
Pickles aren’t just a sandwich side
Inasmuch they can be a beverage garnish
Can consume pickles with any meal
Knowingly I enjoy them in my drink
Like a dill in a martini, Gerkin in Bloody Mary
Essentially it’s a snack in my cocktail

TEDDY GUARDS

(For American Teddy Bear Day)
Teddy Bear wears a red, white and blue
ribbon around his neck
In a few days he’ll wear a brown and yellow
to celebrate Thanksgiving
The neckwear changes with the season and
holiday
Never does he complain as he sits
on my bed during the day
Watching all that happens in my bedroom
when I’m not there
What does he see? Anything?
He’s the guard upon my bed never leaving
his post till night
Only then does he rest until the morn
Fluffy only wishes he’d leave
He ignores her hisses and meows
Teddy has an important duty
Keeping the cat from laying on my pillow

(For BERT and BRENDA On Their
Wedding Day)
Now you will be pronounced husband and
wife
United together always for the rest of your
life
Place your faith and hope in the hands of
the Lord above
Trust in him to see you through times of
gladness and sorrow
Inasmuch the Lord will be there during the
stormy days
And walk along by your side on the rocky
roads
Let this journey you take today be filled
with happiness
Saturday, November 14, 2020, Bert and
Brenda are wed
