Have you
ever been
in a
convalescent
home?

Hugged an
old person
all alone

There’s that
musty smell.
Hell
It’s
every where
Even in
Their hair

.
Yet nobody
else notices.
Should I
tell Grandma
it’s there?

I’m not
Suggesting
Snarky
Comments

Rather
A
Graceful
Hew
Of
Compassion

I
Could
Never
Pretend
I don’t care
I certainly
would want
to know

If I’m
giving off
A pig pen
Glow

A Horrific
Odor
As I get older
A
Bad smell
I can’t tell
Do others
ignore it
From me?

Is it
dead skin
in their
clothes
that makes
me
want to
hold my
nose?

Nobody knows
for sure
If they did,
there would
be a cure

For now,
Lots of
Quality
Expensive
Perfume cologne
A multitude
The old
Condone

As
Grandfather
would say
“pull
my finger
The odor
will linger”

I will always
remember
that smile
on his face

He was
An old
Chester Cat
Top hat
Grin

He
Used up
all nine
lives
Just
Like that
A
Mischievous
Smile

The bright Side
when
I pulled
his finger,
That
Incredible
smile
Also
lingered

That Smell 1977
By Lynyrd Skynyrd

BLT webster’s word of the day challenge
4-3-25 SNARK
Is a formal word that refers to attitude or expression of mocking irrelevant, and sarcasm
4-4-25 HEW
Is commonly used with to, to mean “ to conform or adhere to something”. Hew on his own, has several meanings having to do with cutting or shaping with a sharp tool, such as an ax.

My brother married
A vivacious woman
She positively glowed
as effusive compliments
echo by my brother

She beguiled him
With her charms.
She was a cynosure
Of all eyes
As she walked
Into the room

As time passed
Their love
Became volatile

My brother and I
Devised
Our own language
Though the use of
Weather Terms;  

It’s a sunny day
meant
A good time to visit

Cloudy weather
Changing Rapidly
meant
She’s about to blow.
Not advisable to stop by

The weather terms I worried about most;

Thunderstorms, Eminent Danger

Lighting Strikes likely Twice

I only heard this report once;

A Cyclone Twister
Appeared out of nowhere
Run for the hills
Nowhere to hide
No one is safe
Probable Casualties

My reply;
Yep I’ll skip the visit
To my Brother’s today

Brother’s reply;
Yes a good judgment call
Little Sister

My reply ;
Thanks for the heads up, Bro

I’m a Smooth Sailing Breeze
Perhaps I’ll Catch you
On the way back.
Depending on where
The Weather Blows

Brother’s s reply

“Bury me at Sea

I fear RIP”
🪦

Footnotes
Regardless of this turbulence
This couple has been together for 45 years
a lot of weather under the bridge. I think that’s what they mean by weathering the storm. If marriage was easy, everybody would be married. I think we’re just the kind of people who don’t quit. you take the good with the bad regardless of the situation you keep going and there’s always tomorrow. There’s no such thing divorce. If you think about it, if you know you’re gonna be together tomorrow, it kind of takes the sting out of those hurtful comments. more than 50% of all marriages end in divorce.

The hate
You Give
Is the hate
You shall
Receive
70 times
Seven

For
Give

Timing is everything



We                       Are
The.             Last
Generation
Full.               cup
Prin               ciple
We’ll                  wait
for                   the
Right          time
tribulation
Be         Gins
God’s.            will
Be                    done




We are only as strong
as our weakest link
In preservation we think
Make love, not war
What are we fighting for?


As in the time of Noah
Fighting amongst ourselves

America will fall from within
On our knees tribulation begins
The vultures circle to feast
The arrival of Satan‘s beast
The smell of death is in the air

American’s act without care
Living absent of God, unaware
When tribulation begins
Man’s Sins Will be on full display
God‘s wrath has plenty to say

God wants our full attention
The Bible reveals His full intention

Nana Is a
gregarious host
Who fills her home
with love, laughter
  Favorite dishes
Ever after
Thankful
Giving
Christmas
Simple Living
A gathering of
Family and Friends
Full of Leaps and bounds
Smiles that have no ends
Happiness is her mission
A time honored tradition

86400
Seconds
In a day
Tick-tock
Tick- tock
Time is
Passing
Away

Never ceasing
Always increasing
Moving forward
So much to do and say
Before you call it a day
Life is passing you by
In the blink of an eye
Moving forward
Why is time
So fleeting
So defeating

Five
More
Minutes
If you Please
300 seconds
Allergies
A wind
To create
A sneeze
Relentless

1,000,000 seconds
Translates to be
The inertia of
You and Me

TikTok
Watch
The clock
Time is
Passing by
In the blink
Of an eye
Until we say
Goodbye
