Nonsense – Stream of Consciousness Saturday – Lid

Nonsense – Stream of Consciousness Saturday – Lid 

https://lindaghill.com/2021/10/08/the-friday-reminder-and-prompt-for-socs-october-9-2021/

***

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “lid.” Use it in the literal sense, use it in the metaphorical sense, use it any way you’d like. Have fun!

***

So, today for SOCS we have the word or partial word ‘lid’. Thanks, Linda!

***

I only know a few things about a lid, such as the cover on a cooking pot, a sealing top of a jar of food, and I think it’s a measurement of some kind of drugs?

It’s always hard to get the lid off of a jar. I’ve strained my hand trying to unscrew the thing. I can sometimes stick a pointed kind of spoon under the edge and lever it so it pops the seal. Then you can open it easily. If all else fails, I call in the Mr. to give a strong hand at it. That usually always works.

Let’s see what else … some nonsense maybe?

Well, I’d thought of something, and now it’s gone … hang on a minute.

I have a lid that was not hid

There was a lide that tried to hide?

I tried and tried but off it flied?

Nope … not working!

I bid on a lid, but off it slid

A bird flied up … no … that would be flew

It doesn’t rhyme, and I never lied – subtract the e so you get lid?

I think I better end this now.

Have a fun weekend! 🙂

Happy Halloween!

HERE’S TO YA

His arms are green and slimy,

As up from the brine they rise.

His words are gurgled and rhyme-y,

And he looks to be a fairly big size.

I don’t know what to think,

While I’m frozen to the spot where I stand,

But I offer the creature a drink,

Given by my shaking hand.

As higher and higher he rose,

Up from the water so deep,

I saw two holes for his nose, and

His eyes began to weep.

He said ’twas the first time ever

Anyone tried to be nice to him.

You could have knocked me down with a feather, when

He said his name was Jim.

So, if ever you meet a stranger, an ogre of some reputation,

Don’t look at him in anger,

Just flow with the situation.
