Sunday Surprise - Crazy Crime Limerick

Moo Crimes

A guy had a notable knack
For stealing himself a milk snack.
He dressed like a cow
And crawled out with a wow -

This rhyme was written for Mad Kane's Limerick-Off
where the punch lines will make you snicker, not scoff.

Friday Photo Fun - Something Plentiful

Something Plentiful
by Rachel Hoyt



Wild ones make one think of harm,
because sometimes they are short on charm,
though their transformational qualities are many.
For good or bad they grow aplenty.

Friday Photo Fun is when I share a randomly captured moment,
or perhaps a photo experiment with more purposeful intent,
then pair it with a rhyming riddle to exercise your mind
and teach you more weird facts to which you once were blind.

After the answer is guessed, I will post a second, non-abstract photo,
and just in case you wanted to know,
the first is not a photoshopped version of the second -
they're shot using different techniques that to me beckon.

Congratulations to Bryan on guessing correct
that mushrooms were the abstract-ified object!

Thursday Thoughts - Apple, Tim Cook and @FridgeToaster

image by Bill Longshaw via freedigitalphotos.net


Hey there Mr. Cook,

I saw what you said and, look,
@FridgeToaster is my friend
Who would want that combo, you say?
Probably quite a few people would pay
for that handy two-in-one appliance,
maybe partially in defiance,
but also because none of us made as much money
and our smart phones and iPads got us thinking
that one way to avoid further financial sinking
is to buy things that bring more than one type of joy
like those gadgets that are phone, camera, computer and toy.
A retro VacuumLamp would look cool and save space
near the FridgeToaster I imagine in my place.
I just thought I'd mention it in case you realize
your product helped spur these thoughts you seem to despise.
Were you just being an imitation hater?
Will you reveal FridgeToaster plans later?
Or perhaps an even more awesome duo?
I know you'll always tell me your product is more awesome.
The question is will I see it as a thought blossom?
I had planned to purchase an Apple product soon
but haven't appreciated being treated like a loon
for being content with my PC in the mean time
although it has supported my creative side just fine.

Enjoy swimming in denial and your big money pile!

Sincerely,

Rachel Hoyt
