It has been a while since I have done this, but I thought I would play along today. Fandango takes us back to a former post on this day in a past year with his Flashback Friday
. This was a fun little post I did for “retro” back in 2019…
There once was a man named Stan
Who thought up a wild and crazy plan
A life of retro would be
Fun and fancy free
So he decked out his old panel van
She was a fashion maven
With hair black as raven
She had lots of clothes
And shoes in rows and rows
A designer store was her haven
Written for Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (FOWC) – maven
There once was a girl named Cassie
Who was sweet and also sassy
She got mad one day
And had lots to say
And she came off as being quite brassy
Written for Fandango’s One Word Challenge (FOWC) – sassy
The pirate’s treasure map was moot
Someone else had gotten the loot
They had been quite bold
And taken all the gold
But left a thank you note in a boot
Written for Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (FOWC) – moot
A little boy named Ben got dirty
His mother had just turned thirty
This doesn’t matter now
It’s not the where or the how
But I wont let this poem get wordy

I am doing some “speed reading” and not many comments. With everything going on I have not had time or energy to do much on WP… so I am trying like crazy to “catch up.” I apologize for not taking the time to comment like I usually do, but I have got to do something to speed things up and I don’t want to miss any of what you all write. So, I do not hate your writing, I am only silent for times sake. If I do that through this weekend I may just be able to get back to “normal” next month. Thanks everyone… I still love your words!

Sally was always very tired indeed
She fell asleep while planting a seed
It was for a special flower
That would give her more power
and take care of that overdue need

My first thought was my shampoo bottle in the shower… but I didn’t feel like writing another fiction piece. I toyed with the idea of a limerick
There once was a man named Lou
Who used only Suave shampoo
… but I didn’t get very far with it and my concentration kept wandering to the very early 90s. So Gerardo won… and consequently most of us lost (I mean have you really listened to the lyrics of this, talk about a sexist song), but it was a catchy hook.

I’m not likely to shop a boutique
Although they have products unique
I do like to shop
But my wallet says stop
The prices cause my money to shriek

Sally Johnson was quite often poor
Watching money fly out the door
Her boyfriend would spend
Like there was no end
And she was left mopping up the floor
Written for Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (FOWC) – poor
The ramshackle house once white
Had become quite a sad little sight
It was weathered and worn
Beaten down and torn
It no longer brought people delight
Written for Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (FOWC) – ramshackle
