My "bump" was in 2016, aged 48, when I suffered a stroke. This blog charts my recovery. (Header clipart licensed by pngguru.com.)
inspired by Fandango’s One Word Challenge (FOWC) of 20 September 2021, Kafkaesque.
God Poseidon travailed like a banshee,
Worked so hard, had the work rate of three,

They said “What’s your desire?”
Said, “I’d quite like to visit the sea”.

With the utmost of cunning and guile,
God had visited Mary, fertile,

When king fancied a little more spice,
Talked a baroness into his vice,

With the queen in between,
And the king doing everything twice!

For not staying the course,
He kicks out at the horse,
Which has good sense to kick him right back.
inspired by Fandango’s One Word Challenge (FOWC) of 16 September 2021, combination.

Such a strange combination,
Which just caused flatulation,
And left restaurant with salty aroma.

On a sight-seeing voyage, they got chop,
When trip ended, boat tied up to stop,
But not tethered steadfast,
The boat floated right past,
And continued right over the top.
That’s why they call them “falls”, right?

A White Knight from darkest Peru,
Lost his arm and was nearly run through,
Being aided by nurse,
Poor guy’s luck just got worse,
When they lopped off the other one, too
