excess vanity
his verbal diarrhea
infecting us all
Trying to purge as I wait (hope / plan / plot) for a curative blue wave.
Thanks for the inspiration to Fandango’s word of the day (verbal) challenge.

the monkey*
the monkey gazes
adoringly at himself
as they kiss his ass
Views are my own but thanks for the inspiration to Ronovan Writes and his challenge to use chimpanzee (which I subbed in monkey) and kiss in a haiku.
*My apologies to actual monkeys, apes, chimps ….

Thanks to Ronovan Writes for today’s haiku challenge. Our words were cloak (for which I substituted disguised) and race. The challenge inspired me but the opinions are my own. And my apologies to elephants everywhere. They are smart and very empathetic creatures. They deserve better than to be linked to the orange one and his minions.
The Tipi
Looky there! Do ya think someone’s sleeping in that wigwam thing?
It’s not a wigwam. It’s a tipi.
Tee Pee. Wig Wam. Pig Sty. Whatever.
Don’t whatever me. They’re not the same thing. Wigwams are curved. And they’re hard to move.
Who cares!
I do! People are too casual with facts these days. There’s no excuse for it.
Damn it Luke. It’s getting late. We need someplace to hole up. Not another Trump tirade. Let’s do this!
Alright! Let’s move…. But I’m right.
Whatever. … Sorry folks. We’re gonna need to commandeer this here wig wam.
Asshole.

Life’s been a bit crazed lately so it’s been awhile since I’ve written any flash fiction or contributed to Friday Fictioneers. So thanks to Rochelle for providing the great photo prompt and Haunted Wordsmith for the word prompt inspirations.
