Instead of waking up at 3:00-3:30am I was still trying to fall asleep. I was up past midnight reading; trying to finish a book I began the night before. So here it is 9:00am and trying to type this up. Unfortunately I see no nap in my future today there’s a lot I have to do.
My writing block is off and on. I thought about writing pieces about things happening in my life.
Tuesday night I ventured out for a round of bar poker at my vets club. It was fun and took my mind off of things. The funniest thing was every hand I’d get a two. I decided to use my experience in the first writing listed for today.
Terry suggested I try writing about the magician to get over my writers block. Well I wrote about how nice the magician has been the past few times I saw them. Enough on this.
Terry’s daily word challenge GREEN GRASS. This is also a true to life piece. I had to close the Windows when my lawn person began to mow. My nose did get stuffy and my eyes itched and water.
Prior to the lawn being mowed I could smell something being grilled in the neighborhood. It smelled like steak to me. It made me hungry. Of course I was having a light meal of salad and fruit.
As I’ve done before I used the wacky holidays as random thoughts in my head.
Yesterday I saw a funny meme on social media about people honking the horn for you to get out of the parking space quick. I was sitting in my car at rehab. Evidently someone pulled in thinking I was leaving as I had the car running due to wanting the air conditioning cooling me. They sat waiting. I was early for my appointment and could not go inside early. I guess they finally decided I wasn’t leaving and moved to different spot. I thought about the meme and laughed.
The rehab does not let you in more then five minutes before your visit.
It’s Friday Eve. Hope you have a great day.
Until tomorrow....Stay Safe.

POKER NIGHT
Playing bar poker....it seems like fun
Started out with an ace first card
My next card a two....then a four
Could be possible a straight
Curses my cards go down hill after
But next to me sits the winner with
three jacks
Perhaps if I touch his arm luck will rub
off on me
Hand two commences with a queen of
hearts....next two cards a heart
Hopes high for a flush....no....next card
two of clubs
Hand three....an ace of clubs dealt first
then an eight of hearts, two of
diamonds, three of hearts and final
card ten of spades
I am not lucky in cards....but I keep
playing
Seems I’m just donating to the pot
with each hand
But I am enjoying the evening....releases stress of events in
my life at present
Everyone sitting at the bar is playing
One guy wins two hands in a row
Lucky in cards for him....guess he’s not
lucky in love
Every hand dealt I would get a two
Is this a sign? Is this my lucky number
for the week?
Final hand....it’s a double pot
I get a ten....another ten....
a nine....another ten....a two
Yeah three tens....big winner for the
night
I had fun and came out ahead
🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢
WHY? WHEN?
The magician walks in the door
I wonder....will I be invisible today?
“Hello” he says as he walks by
I reply with a greeting in return
Two days in a row....I’ve been noticed
Why all of a sudden?
Eventually it will be revealed
When? Only the magician knows
🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢
GRILLING
The aroma of a steak filters
through the air as I step outside
It’s late in the afternoon
in the neighborhood someone grills
their supper
The tantalizing scent whets my
appetite....
But I’m dieting....it’s a salad and boiled
fish for me
🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢
GREEN GRASS
Rains make the grass green
Rains make the green grass grow
Outside I hear my lawn person
The roar of the mower....cuts each
blade
I close my windows....the scent of new
mowed lawn filters inside
My eyes water....my nose becomes
stuffy
I sneeze....it happens all the time

WACKY HOLIDAYS APRIL 14th
(National Pecan Day; National Dolphin
Day; National Gardening Day and
National Perfume Day)
Pecan pie not a favorite of mine
but apple and blueberry are fine
Many have a favorite pie
then some enjoy them all
It’s a matter of taste
Gardening my flower bed today
the fragrance of the blooms
Mother Nature’s perfume
Of course my allergies triggered
but I can not resist smelling them
Dolphins 🐬 have a day of recognition
I’ve not seen a day to honor the
porpoise
Many think they are the same
But differences they do have
One needs to look at both closely
