Wither the Meandering Matriarch?

Meandering Matriarch’s not been seen, on wordpress recently.

She was my muse some time ago, longer than fleetingly.

In time, I abandoned hope, perhaps she’d gone to heaven,

Until I saw a like from her, I think was number seven.

Camels Feet – Across the Sands of Time

In Saudi there are camels feet

Much favoured by monied elite,

Apostate cultures, not so rich,

Such feet are seen on any bitch.

Wonder of Lycra, pulled up high,

Is oggled on by chinese guys

Reward in Saudi for such display,

Expect mutawa visit be made..

I abhor promiscuous showing

With Lycra butts, genitalia forming

Especially strolling in Westfield shops

Takes toll to stare and then to stop.

Eleventh of July, Nineteen Eighty.

Nye forty-three long years ago,

In the swinging eighties.

Down Georgia way the story goes,

The Rafensburgers mated..

Born in the summer, Brad showed the way

To be community minded.

Birth day just after Independence day,

And not by fireworks blinded

.

Brad’s birthday was a source of joy

And widely celebrated 🍾.

His birthday date was a playful toy,

And wildly underrated.

.

(but), Abbreviated to English form,

The numbers were related,

(to) alledgéd votes 🗳 for Brad to find,

tr÷#p ego to be sated.

Why Bother

You’re going on a cross-country trip. Airplane, train, bus, car, or bike?

WP prompt asks, how I travel might

On airplane train bus car or bike

Can’t get the energy as would be right ,

Finding the prompt just far to trite.

Repulsed

In current days we feign disdain,

On crudity of others.

Collectively we think we’re better,

Than other people’s brothers.

.

The ducking stool and stocks are passed

And in their place we find.

Humiliation, televised kickarse,

Enjoyment in prime time.

We move along, or so we think,

A nobler form of man.

Into this morass is where we sink,

It hardly seems a plan.

thc recognises the “we” referred here is actually “I”

Confidence Levelled

How would you rate your confidence level?

Do I need to be confident?

Let alone at any level.

I’m simple joyous 😊 bon vivant

Slicked hair is undishevelled.

.

I’d rather consider other folk,

Than gaze upon my navel.

And lovingly their ego stroke

As frequently as able.

.

I note that wordpress prompts have focus,

On self and minor things,

Self examination seems the locus,

Not Imaginations wings.
