Cover me in blankets
Let me make a den
Leave me be
Don't bother me
I won't tell you again

Cover me in blankets
Then please leave me alone
You may intrude
When bringing food
Or my agent on the phone

Ramen 🙏🏼

This is how Steve describes fighting through a wall of cats on his way to breakfast

So do praying mantises.
Technically

Successfully plays guitar
Practically debtless
Confident in fingering
Playng basslines fretless

The #vssdaily #prompt for 10/12/25 was #fret

That looks exhausting

I'd probably just sit down and wait to get bit

They're showing movies in the park
So that's the place for me
I sense a movement in the dark
A hand upon my knee

I feel his breath upon my face
I shut my eyes real tight
My fragile heart begins to race
I'm going back tonight

The #vssdaily #prompt for 10/11/25 was #knee

Cats are a menace, I'm certain
And that's surely no revelation
They eat your plants then shred your curtain
And promise me evisceration

Don't listen to cats, they're imperfect
You must stop believing their lies
Then please reconsider your verdict
And give this chihuahua his prize

I'm a happy-go-lucky chihuahua
My presence, a lovely surprise
But if I had had any power
I'd have seized that ridiculous prize

It's not that it's wanted or needed
It's a "nice to have" trinket, I'm sure
But my chance of that trophy receded
And I blame that darn pussycat, Thor

His Dad said he's good at the cyber

Merci, pardner

Thank you 💥

For a while there, we kept finding pieces
A finger or ear here or there
And it came as a shock
To sit down on a rock
That was actually Jed's derriere

3/3

We buried the parts not exploded
Everything south of his thighs
And, thanks to God's grace,
We found most of his face
Which displayed a wild look of surprise

2/3

We buried Old Jed with his boots on
As the leather had fused to his sole
And the bad dynamite
That so ruined his night
It had already dug us a hole

Maybe I should have changed "My chest isn't heaving" to "I've no trouble breathing"

It's really not scary
I'm really not frightened
It's coincidental
My knuckles have whitened

I'm not really shaking
My chest isn't heaving
I have to be elsewhere
And that's why I'm leaving

My necklace latched onto my lip ring
I reached up to start the untying
My wristwatch hooked into my lip ring
And that's why I'm sitting here crying
2/2

My earring got caught in my headphones
They threaded right in there it seems
The headphones got snagged on my necklace
While I was suppressing my screams
1/2

The #vssdaily #prompt for 10/9/25 was #earring

Alabaman God of Thunder
Mighty Thor is sitting sweetly
Gorgeously he seeks attention
Something tells me he will get it

Treats and scratches, pets and kisses
Thor deserves them by the dozen
Afterwards, some happy napping
Then he'll taunt that vile chihuahua

Apologies to Longfellow

Come on, use this new AI
It's really rather great
It does your IT perfectly
But it may hallucinate

Your accounting will work seamlessly
And almost without fail
Though if our AI gets it wrong
Well, 𝘸𝘦 won't go to jail

Half the time she misses

He would spit and he'd growl and he'd curse
Making each situation far worse
He refused to pay rent
And his downtime was spent
On Bluesky, composing bad verse

Steve has dictated* letter after letter, demanding a list of local intellectuals be published. He's certain he would top it.

*Tosh pretends to make notes. Steve always rants himself to sleep long before his missives are finished

Is that an asterisk by the "d" in GOOD?

It really should be

No, wait, why that face?"
