MADNESS of MARCH....Day 12

It’s 3:30am right now as I type this up.  Of course I won’t post this till later.  

It’s Friday! What a week for sure.  
Yesterday after running a few things to my husband at rehab which I have to leave things with an aid who delivers it to him; I took a mental health day. COVID sucks.  
I went to have lunch at my Amvets as one of the members does a Thursday lunch.  I was able to be with people and talk with them. 
One thing I did was meet up with two of the recipients of my Lenten Project who I had not seen.  They were happy for the drinks they received.  As I look to tomorrow’s recipient I’m just leaving drink chips for him. 
My husband’s speech still not back to par. He’s still trying to get coherent sentences out. I asked are you frustrated and scared; he said “yes”.  He did say to me “miss you”.  He had me in tears after I hung up. 
Terry’s daily word yesterday was GULLIBLE. I actually used it with my St. Patrick’s Day word of the day piece.  
Yesterday the St. Patrick’s word was BLARNEY. I wrote about how certain people can be full of it. In a way blarney and gullible were words that sort of complimented each other. 
The wacky holidays indeed a challenge.  How does one center Johnny Appleseed day, Name Tag day with popcorn lovers day and oatmeal nut waffle day.  I sat trying to picture things in my mind.  Yes it was simple to write about waffles; use that as breakfast. Then I pictured my Forty and Eight Locale Voiture shirt we wear at all our promenades (meetings).  My name is seen under the left shoulder; of course my name tag.  As for popcorn, our 40&8 meeting place is at the local Amvets Post.  They always have popcorn made.  I generally get some after the meeting with my mug of beer. Picturing this in my mind helped with the writing piece.  
Until tomorrow....make sure you wear your RED shirt as it’s Friday; as always Stay Safe.

                    BLARNEY 

Beautifully can some individuals speak 
Like honey dripping from their mouth
Attracting us to them with flattering 
          words
Realizing all the while they have the gift 
         of gab
Needless to say we are taken in by 
      them
Eloquently they can charm and      
          persuade us
Yet we definitely know they are full of 
     the blarney

                    MSNAIVE 

His voice so alluring 
Flattering her with flowery words
 and phrases
She believed all he said
  telling her what she wanted to hear
Gullible indeed as everyone else knew 
    he was full of blarney 

🔵🟢🔵🟢🔵🟢🔵🟢🔵🟢🔵🟢🔵
             SWEET TALKING 

Such a sweet talker 
 That eloquent voice allured her 
  time and again 
Giving out compliments   
  praising her with flattery
She fawned all over him
Believed what he told her truthful
 It became second nature to him
Blandishing admiration to whoever 
    he could fool
For such an intelligent woman
  she was gullible when it came to men 
Especially that sweet talker 
  
🟢🔵🟢🔵🟢🔵🟢🔵🟢🔵🟢🔵🟢
                 DUPED AGAIN 

Duped again!
How did she get herself in these 
     circumstances 
She had a choice for volunteering at 
    the St. Patrick’s Day dinner 
Either help cook the corn beef and 
      cabbage
  or be errand girl to pick up rolls and 
     desserts
Knowing she was no chef 
 they knew she’d take the other
  option no one wanted
She sure could be gullible

 WACKY HOLIDAYS MARCH 11th
(National Oatmeal Nut Waffle Day; Johnny Appleseed Day; Name Tag Day and Popcorn Lovers Day)

Oatmeal nut waffles to kick start the 
    morning
Sliced Granny Smith apple my 
    mid-morning snack
Headed out later for a meeting at the     
   veterans club
Need to wear the shirt with my name 
    over the pocket
Can’t forget my chapeau and ritual 
     manual 
I just hope the bartender made     
    popcorn to enjoy with my after 
       meeting beer
