inspired by Fandango’s One Word Challenge (FOWC) of 4 August 2021, bone.
A missionary in a tight spot,
Ended up in the cannibals’ pot.
Then they ate him up, whole,
Left not even a bone.
Could have used some more pepper, they thought.

My "bump" was in 2016 when, aged 48, I suffered a stroke. This blog charts my recovery. (Header clipart licensed by pngguru.com.)

couldn’t agree more. I n fact I spent a while toying with perfect rhymes before I decided that this was a better story.

Some salt, maybe a dust of chilli flakes.

chilli would have worked, but I needed two syllables for it to scan. pepper was just the first thing that sprang to mind. I suppose I could have used sea salt or something, but would a cannibal care where it came from?

To avoid an essay answer: no. ‘Midst the hustle and pain of relo, time is beginning to free-up, so I can look-in [on old buds] from time to time. Backlog of scratchpad writing but polishing and presenting takes more time than I have right now, so posts will be sketchy at best. Then there’s the frustration issue, my own doing but real, and folk are pressing me to talk to an editor about “Metaphor.” It’s an old-guy footrace: what of all my wanna-dos are really important and need to be addressed before, well, you know…

Then there is the interesting case of the cannibal who passed his father-in-law in the jungle.
