Thought for the day

Posted , 5 users are following.

Another of my ramblings for those who like to get the grey matter working - are those suffering from chronic illnesses easy targets?

Spend all my cash

On a miracle cure

Or so the scammers say

They pray on the likes of you and me

So desperate are our ways

Of dealing with the sprite within

That runs amok at will

We hope to rid ourselves someday

And will try just any pill

Or lotion or wacky treatment

The likes of which may be sent

In plain brown wrapper

Direct no doctor needed

Folly or desperation

You decide.

    So true, been there, done that, have the tee shirt. 

    The brain matter is a little fuzzy today, as had a good yesterday, so we went out to trivial pursuit last night, loads of fun but my brain is not what it use to be.

      Got to make hay while the sun shines!  I love trivial pursuit - we play only at Christmas and it always is an absolute riot.  One year we decided that my brainbox partner was just too good so we substituted it for Junior Trivial pursuit - clever move because he hadn't a clue when it came to nursery rhyme questions!

    Hehe. Sounds like you guys would be valuable assets in any trivial pursuit team. Our weak area was music, now junior Trivial pursuit would be much more our thing. I must say it is fun, haven't laughed so much in ages, great tonic.

      Morning Christine;   me too....have often been "led" astray, by the side adverts on our computer screen....but now know (as GP said to me, if they have to advertise, they probably arn't as good as they sound)...word of mouth is sooo much better....maybe we need to ask GeorgiaS to add this into her book, as well, for all to see/read?    hoping you are enjoying your day today....as to your area in Tassie, a couple of years ago, I met a lovely lady from your area, who has now moved to Brisbane area....came from  a small town near you...you do breed lovely people too........xxBronlol
