Did anyone else wake up super hungry this morning because their dinner last night was (yet again) a tiny smorgasbord of other people’s crumbs? #humor#parenting#whatsforbreakfast
Grandparent: Why is she so tiny? You’re not feeding her enough.
Wrong response: I’ve just spent 23 of the last 24 hours breastfeeding. If you say she looks hungry again, I’m going to put you in a soup.
@PatrickGEades nails comebacks for parental advice.

Along the edge of clouds
addressing the death
of innovation
Sophisticated yearning
on the periphery
of sentiment
Fortunately stranger things
radiate from carnage
than the samba beat
of truth

don’t know what I did
but I loved with all my heart
helped another live
gave everything for his start
my last nickel I did give
tired to the bone
I’ve been kicked & lied about
thought he was my home
now left with only doubt

Haskins & The Commander Prompt
"This salad is so bland, sir"
"It just needs a dressing, Haskins."
"You want me to talk to it"
"What? No, I meant a dressing."
"I should find it somewhere to live, sir?"
"I didn't mean address."
"What about a skirt?"
#vss365#prompt#address
Roasting
on the spit
of survival
Screwed
by the passage
of time
A gala
of dark heresy
built on vestiges
of crime
Sneering dogma
of irony
construed by
malignant entities,
visionary rhymes

found a summer’s sky
life spent dreaming for a sun
I’m but a shadow
silhouette of a lie
farthest lengths of earth I’d run
so a world can grow
that’s been digging my grave
I’ll be its soil to rise
no martyr~back I gave
this dying moon~shine sweet star

"What are you doing Haskins?"
"I'm driving this #screw into my desk sir."
"I can see that, may I ask why?"
"To help me do my job."
"How will that help?"
"It's supposed to help me hide my emotions better, sir"
"Are you sure?"
"I read it helps to be in-screw-table."
