Photo finish Friday: “License”

Inquiring minds want to know where the hunting dogs keep their permit so that it is easily available? Plus, how many dogs can hunt on one permit?

What would you do if your raspberries wanted to mix it up with your blueberries or blackberries?

Photo finish Friday: “Flushed with reading”

You need a place to rest your book.

You need a place to rest your book.

Don't try this with an unabridged dictionary.

Don’t try this with an unabridged dictionary.

Do you live with your novels as you are reading them? Even in the bathroom?

But maybe you have no bookshelf or place to temporarily rest the book. What do you do? Why, the toilet paper dispenser might be your friend.

Not recommended for heavy books or picture books of odd-sized dimensions. But the right book at the right time with the roll of toilet paper at the right diameter, and you have a temporary bookshelf while you await the flush of success.

Photo finish Friday: “Root a Vega”

This is what happens when you've been stuck in a rut so long: the rut gets stuck on you.

Photo finish Friday: “Head’s down”

As far as I know, no actual lawyers were injured in the decapitation of this sign.

I just want to know who the injured party is in this case.

Photo finish Friday: “Flower plea”

"Oh, please, don't pick me."

“Oh, please, don’t pick me.”

Flower plea

Oh, please, oh, please, don’t pick me.
There’s only a short life within me.
Leave me so others can see me.
Let me be so I can be me.

Come by as often as you like,
Be it in a car, on foot, or a trike.
I’ll be here for all to delight.
To pick me would leave only a blight.

I’m here for only a short while.
Let my bloom help others to smile.
Do not give in to temptation or denial
And leave nothing but a joy defiled.

Oh, please, oh, please, don’t pick me.
There’s only a short life within me.
Leave me so others can see me.
Let me be so I can be me.

Photo finish Friday: “Weekend”

Whichever way the weekend blows, it can only be better than the week.

Whichever way the weekend blows, it can only be better than the week.


O’ Come Weekend

O’, come weekend, come on soon
the week’s been hell, been like a bassoon
played off-key and played next to my ear,
or a pipe clattering, trying to get clear
of the air trapped inside when the taps turned on
whopping and whopping like a bad song.
O’, come weekend, come on soon
the week’s been hell, been like a baboon
locked in a small cage, tossing poop and food
flashing its teeth – O’ it’s been in a mood.
So come on weekend, get your ass here.
I’ve had more than I can take. Am I being clear?!
