By which I mean you have to buy much more and accept that those already eaten were done so in the name of science.

Wednesdays come and gone again
Leaving only these 100 words
So you'd better enjoy them

Happy Drabble!

Halloween tip. While it's fun to put out candy, be wary of doing this too many days in advance as it soon becomes imperative to test the goods. Repeatedly.

I used to worry
About little things
Names and such like
Then I realized
The suns #rays will burn
Whether you call them
waves or particles

Halloween tip. You don't have to decorate your place. But you probably should.

Sgt. #Argent
Looked his name
Dour and lank
With a silver mane
Formal as a coat of arms
Sadly lacking any charms
Until the day
He met Miss Flo.
Since then
He's learned to love
Rainbows

Seems to me
my house is haunted
By all these folks no longer there
Hear em howl
In the windstorms
Linger raging in the air

Drip wall
Creak attic
Rustle curtain
Rock chair
Check locks
Close closets
Can't get rid of what's not there

This old house
Is haunted.

Halloween tip for the day.

Don't worry about expensive costumes. In a pinch, just tie a shoe to your head and go as

A) gum
B) a pile of 💩

Personally, I've worn the same Domino's pizza shirt for 30 years running....

What's your last minute attire?

My son won the science fair
With a middle school friend
Remains of their #experiment
Add to the clutter in my garage
If not the knowledge of the world

Absolutely. The (any kind of flashlight at all) will win everytime from about 3-6 years old. (Or it seemed to over the 30 years I taught preschool, lol).

Peace Panda
Commander
(Of the big blue light saber)
On a mission to hug just about everything.

I guess that or Solidarity.

It was excellent. No dialogue at all. Fascinating look at belief (maybe a bit heavy handed in a cs lewis kinda way?), which for myself (agnostic with eastern philosophy minor) didnt take away at all from the incredible visuals. Definitely worth a look in my humble.

Come out all you slinkers
You Halloween #creep s
Oozing and hairy
And wrapped up in sheets
The day is upon us
Our time now grows near
Candy and horror
This one nighh a year
So throw on a costume
Or come as you be
Gather ye spooks
For all hallows eve

Twists on Daedalus
Superman #heliacal
No feathered wax to melt
Lex, genius maniacal
No love, just envy felt
Look up in the skies
The color of pittacal.
As they update the ancient tales
Oh
And the dog was cute
Undeniable

Do leaves feel #terror
Or do branches sing sweet songs
Of springtime return.

It's a great description. A little man who flounces red flags and does everything he can to avoid penetration.

Where's the wrong?
