Hey fellow scribblers it's day 7 of our musical mystery tour.

We're hitting the 1970s for our inspiration, it's a band who helped define British punk rock, yes London's Calling because today's #vss365 #prompt, 07/10/25 is #clash

What's your favourite musical genre?

Indeed!😂 Thanks for reading, Paul. I appreciate you.

My nose
Starts to wrinkle
Cuz I think
I smell a rat

Know why my
#Associate
Don’t seem
To have my back…

Oft I’ve thrown him
Neath a bus
His back
Tattooed with tracks

Guess this is
His payback
For the loyalty
I lacked

Dis gone be
A rough ride
If my little
Lackey scats…

Ask me why I cry
I #associate with grief
Mourning my lost hope

Wonderful!

It was the ideal night
To light autumn’s first fire
A glass of wine
In their hands
They sat in the fire’s dim light
A book on their lap
Open at a random page

Partners in crime
Associate robbers
Writers of mysteries
Taking a night off
To read stories
Written by others

Good Morning writer/authors/poets ready for day 6 of our musical mystery tour?

Let's skip back to the early 80s music scene & Party Fears Two by The Associates one of my fave songs of all time, today's #vss365 #prompt, 06/10/25, is #associate.

What's your favourite party song?

Do yo’ thang!👍🙌✊

I saw an ad for
Burial plots and thought that's
The last thing I need

#vss365 #haiku

Literally 😂😂😂

Brill!

👏👏👏

Wear a shirt with a logo
give publicity for free,
or is the advert showing me,
pictorial displaying
is a human way of saying
just look how much I'm paying,
to buy it wasn't stressful
I'm wealthy and successful
which affords a certain surety
against social insecurity

This Furry
Swinger Party
Is not what I expect

It’s just some soccer moms
Swinging kids
With plushy pets

A poorly worded #advert
By clueless mom
I bet

Glad I left my costume
In the trunk
Of my Corvette…

Narrowly avoiding
Angry soccer mom
Protest
😳🤷🏾‍♂️

When a comic expelled a loud sneeze,
His worn trousers fell down to his knees.
As he snatched them, he kvetched,
"Damn #elastic's too stretched,"
Adding "How did you like my striptease?"

Heh heh… delightful limerick!

Love this👏👏👏

I sit on a log
in elastic thought
I tug on this and that
Drain the turgid
the rigid cracks
but I don't settle on anything
as darkness expands
and daylight contracts
ideas are the same
nothing has changed
once again
#vss365 #elastic #poetry #photography

Fascinating!

Well played!🤭👍👏
