Actually I think I could ramble much longer on this topic as I have observed so much and it makes me laugh. Maybe I’ll do that later in November as guess what, friends? It’s November the first! And that means I’m writing 30 Poems in November to benefit Center for New Americans!
This is my fourth November writing mayhem for a good cause. Every year I whine about how I can’t imagine accomplishing it, and this year is no exception. But I can do it, especially if you cheer me on! Go Marian, Go Girl, YOU CAN DO IT! Love to you, my friends!
Ha.. I must say the codes for halloween is beyond my grasp.. great way to imagine it.
ReplyDeleteYou can do it, Marian!
ReplyDeleteYep! The irony is not lost on the observant.
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking yesterday that I haven't had as much runaway sentence reading material as I would like, now the November announcement. Yay!
This is a great litle observation. And GO MAIAN< GO!!!! I know you can do 30 in 30!!
ReplyDeleteOh I got so excited I lost my ability (limited as it is already) to spell! Go Marian, go! lol
ReplyDeleteHa! Almost as bad as codes around Santa! Very cute! And good rhymes! Good luck with November challenge. You can do it! K.
ReplyDeleteSorry for the delete above! Meant to say, sexy Hitler is where we draw the line! This is a fun poem, thanks for sharing!!!!
ReplyDeletenot all mom or dad agree,
ReplyDeletenice reflection.
Sexy Mother Teresa! Yes, it is real. And sexy Hitler is a nightmare... Ha. Enjoyed this poem. Yes, fathers and daughters have quite the squabble this time of year. :)
ReplyDeleteI love your Pop-up Halloween Store, Marian.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds rather adult oriented even though the kids came.
..
Don't get me started about costumes because I might lose the bit of cool I was left with after Halloween. Goodness gracious! What are people thinking? I saw a pair of twins (they were probably 10 or 11) dressed neck to two in leather--they were Geminis Gone Wild. Okay, I will stop... and say that your poem is a very good descriptor.
ReplyDelete*WoooHooo!* That's me cheering for your 30 Poems in November bit. ;-)
DeleteThank you for the cheers! These stores ARE in some ways very adult, and also have a lot of jump-scares and grotesque zombies and so on. But there are lots of costumes and props for children, too. One stop shopping! Very strange and I think very fun for people-watching in there. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, cheering you on - and this poem is worth a hearty cheer!
