Why did you cause the rain to fall?
Right now? Dear God, do you recall?
We prayed to thee,
Magpie and me;
“A full moon for the Willow Ball!?”

“In God we rust”.

ReplyDeleteI always like funny.
ReplyDeleteYou're funny.
This was my favourite picture of all the paintings posted so far!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your take on it - is it a Halloween Ball?
Jane, the Willow Ball is whatever you want it to be. You see, it is totally imaginary, It can be Halloween ball, a meat ball or a screw ball... (um, perhaps I should rephrase that) but is as real as so many other allusions and delusions in this Human life.
ReplyDeleteLove your creativity - as always. Wonder if the Willow Ball will be a 'masked ball?' Get your costume ready just in case!
ReplyDeleteThe first part charming ... the second made me chuckle out loud.
ReplyDeleteHope Magpie has a snorkel, and that the rain is warm.
ReplyDeleteHere's to rusting!
rust is rather beautiful...and a timely color being fall...lol. perhaps the moon will yet be full....
ReplyDeleteyou always make me chuckle and grin! and THAT aint a sin!
ReplyDeleteI can see it...your take on this prompt
ReplyDeletefunny as usual...with a bite
Dear Stafford:Definitely this one quite the lunatic wanting a full moon when she knows dam well it's going to be a new moon this Friday for The Willow Manor Ball. Love the plug, hope you have one in that yacht of your funny guy!:)
ReplyDeleteLaughing. Oh, yes, the Ball, the Ball.
ReplyDeleteGiggles indeed. Lovely stuff (including the afterthought).
