Knowing Psyche has computer woes from time to time, and as I could find no connection between the ongoing original Mini Story and Psyche's words, yet thinking them ideal for making a new story line, decided to start this topic. After posting I checked that all was well, and left the site. Checking back later, it along with all my negotiating unknown waters to set it up, it hadf seemingly vanished into thin air some time later. But notwithstanding all the angst etc. I felt, decided nothing ventured, nothing gained, would suffice, so here it is again! Now I a Am waiting to see what happens this time. Please feel free to comment. Rhymer.

The following is Psyche's original list of words and her Chapter - copied and pasted, followed by my own Chapter hoping someone will continue with this secondary Mini Story. Ciao for now. Rhymer.

Birgitta ,Prime Minister of Denmark (probably only the second woman to obtain that position,) is travelling on the Crown Suite of the Queen Mary when her lips became sorely chapped, so the Steward rushed off to get her some chapstick for the Royal lips, a product of the best quality. He happenned to be a very jealous person, so Birgitta invited Juan Diego Florez to sing for all the crew and all high and low "classes" of passengers.
One of the sailors found a stowaway down among the machinery. He was actually very dirty and drunk, as is usual with the lost tramps.
The Steward used to run a mile many times before he new onboard career on the Queen Mary.
Many years ago I was roaming around the Atacama Altiplano when I saw a tiger. I thought they were only native to Africa, India and so on. Could it have been a vision? I decided that I was not going to a high profile psyciatrist and have my brain washed. Not for me, so I said nothing to any of my friends and just moved to another town.

measles

Whilst recovering from a bad bout of Measles, I had cause to use a Chapstick of salve to help heal my oft scratched sores. Measles being a disease that can prove fatal, I had for a time entered the realms of delerium and fantasy, where I had been roaming the Juan Diego Florez region. Here my delerium had me witness the antics of a Rhino who, consumed by Jealousy, chased Arabian Stallions along the shores of the Atlantic. A place where a pod of Killer Whales, in an unusual Enchanting manner were listening to the rhythmic poetry of Rumi, as he extolled the virtues of Me being awarded a Diploma for my extremely virtuoso talents. It was at that moment I returned to reality However, for a moment, I had basked in the glory Measles had awarded me. But wondered I? Would Mumps be so kind, were I to contract them? Doubtful. Rhymer.

As it would seem no one is truly interested, I chose to write another Chapter - posted below. Perhaps? Just perhaps someone might put ten words up - after this has been posted and read, to allow someone -- me at least - to continue on - with the story - or perhaps someone will join in? Words that might inspire someone - even me - at worst - to continue writing? If so, please, all I ask is that they are such, I can at least try to compose a Chapter with some common sense appeal. Just trying to stay ahead of a severe bout of angst that might have me moving on. Thank you for your tolerance. Rhymer.

Here goes:

I was drifting lazily through La La Land. A place located somewhere between reality and dreamland, that is often visited by me now I grow older. A refuge where lifetime experiences meld into an Enchanting Futuristic daydream - sometimes brief - sometimes lengthy, but a place that captivates my senses for a time. Today I had embarked upon a journey through the Juan Diego Florez region. Although a place about which I knew nothing, its name seemed to suggest it was a place I would like to visit. It had come into being, thanks to my contact with a dear lady from Argentina who had mentioned its existence. Were I younger, I would be very tempted to visit and get more knowledge of its charms. Well suited for Futuristic dreaming, it brought a host of kaleidoscopic scenarios apropos to my dream.

Firstly I visualized my taking a sea trip down to the South. As I steamed southward, the Staccato sounds of a pod of Whales, rose from Fathoms deep, to serenade me. Next I glimpsed a number of Arabian Stallions galloping in full flight - purely from the joy of doing so - through the Ling covered hills. Intrigued by the colour, I hove to and anchored close to a towering Rock plateau that invited me to come and sit awhile in the warm sunshine. Ever cautious, I first rubbed on some Chap-stick salve on the off chance the combination of sea, sun and salt laden breeze, might cause me discomfort later. To be continued later. Rhymer.

Quite an ENCHANTING story, Rhymer, complete with a FUTURISTIC fantasy story into the JUAN DIEGO FLOREZ region again. I'd love to see some ARABIAN STALLIONS myself. Were I to attempt to ride one, I'm afraid I'd need something stronger than CHAPSTICK to settle my rear end down, however. I'd have a WHALE of a sore butt, I'm afraid, especially if it were on a STACCATO pace. I'm sure that I'd have to stop halfway through the jaunt to sit on a ROCK somewhere and have my LING sandwich and give my tail a rest. If there were a deep pond, I'd probably want to attempt to FATHOM it's depth to also provide some relief.

I doubt anyone - not even from Saskatoon, where they say men are brutes but generous - would make, let alone eat a Ling sandwich! Hard to Fathom what one would even look like? Perhaps a name for a Futuristic fast food item maybe? That would take a very clever Marketeer Marketer to Fathom out I think! It’s resulting effect would make great Copy for a Publisher who would probably think it some idiotic concoction dreamed up by either a Simpleton or a refugee from a hard Rock music Director-Producer who insists on a reverberating Staccato chorus, and a tooth chattering rhythmic cadence.

In SASKATOON the CADENCE of a TORNADO is slowed down simply by the landmass. There are no PIRATES there for the same reason; even a SIMPLETON would know that. I was going to send this story to PUBLISHER, but the BATTERY died on the cell phone where I wrote it, so I gave up. There's probably not a DIRECTOR alive who would pick it up for a movie anyhow, and he'd certainly not find a sane MARKETER who'd attempt to help him in the project! LOL

Shortly after the Tornado Storm Front had left our neighbourhood, I and the lady I had called my Dance Partner for many years, joined a Multitude of nervous citizens - all with a Similitude of intent - that milled about the street to see what damage, the Assault - from the severe Battery of wind and rain - had inflicted upon our community. As we stood gazing aghast at the chaos seen, an eerie silence fell upon those watching. It was as though the normal Cadence of life itself was stilled, as all sought the needed resuscitation of normality. As we looked upon the scene of devastation, some compared it to that of Pirates unleashing a broadside on an unarmed Merchant vessel! Slowly as we stood gazing at the devastation, to allow a degree of reality to return, an Ambulance on its mission of mercy, with siren screaming out its heart stopping cacophony, cautiously threaded its way through the widespread debris. Ever a common sight seen after a catastrophe of this magnitude. Rhymer.

After the STORM FRONT had passed through, my DANCE PARTNER and I heard the COCKCROW as a kind of beginning for the evening, in a SIMILITUDE of an announcement that the festivities were to begin, and there was a sudden ASSAULT on the dance floor, even before the JANITOR had been able to remove the CABLE draped across the entrance. The crowd simply knocked it down and walked over it, some now hovering like CIRRUS clouds in the balconies looking down on the dance floor. If that juvenile who's brought in several bottles of booze has his way, that CITRUS punch bowl is likely to result in the arrival later this evening of an AMBULANCE or two.

Black Friday had dawned, but instead of celebrations, it was a black day in many other respects. At Cock Crow a long Bread Line had formed in the State of Georgia which, as a Janitor pointed out to the Majority Leader of the State, as they stood under a large Citrus tree, looking up at the Cirrus clouds slipping by to the East. It’s almost as though a Network Cable had formed through Facebook contact overnight. Rhymer.

In GEORGIA a group of VIGILANTES, known as the BLUE JAY Brigade had formed OVERNIGHT after a spate of political CELEBRATIONS about the coming run-off election for the two Senate positions, which will in effect decide who the MAJORITY LEADER will be in the US Senate. It's unclear what the BJB is up to, but last night was a BLACK FRIDAY of a different sort with all of the negative anticipation of what they might do. There were thousands of posts on FACEBOOK about the event, and it was all over the news on every NETWORK. Even the people in the local BREAD LINE were talking bout it!

Facebook? Huh! Regarded as the authority on all things basic, where ‘the knowing’ spout their rhetoric and try to persuade Fake News, is the Gospel truth! Not for me, despite being told how essential a site it is! Fortunately there are Vigilantes who uncover such nonsense items. Somewhat like Christmas decorations, some regard as the ultimate in Celebrations, with nothing more than a brief glimpse of tawdry Tinsel seen at Twilight. Overnight many are seen as tattered remnant reminders of promises made under the Mistletoe after Moonshine induced vows are viewed in the stark reality of a cold New Year dawn! As for spotting a Blue Jay at the turn of the year? Chances are it is nothing more than a White Dove, looking for some uneaten Bread Stuffing. Turned blue from the biting cold of January it quickly brings us back to reality! Rhymer.

Soon you'll need to get out the TINSEL for your tree and hang up the MISTLETOE too... and (though you don't prefer turkey) you can prepare to have some of that delicious BREAD STUFFING that's made outside of the bird.

Hear Ye! Hear ye! Hear ye! Listen up for the latest Fake News overheard in the Grape Arbour that adjoins the Swamp. Yet another news item as was reported by that torn and Tattered old news hound, Daniel. Seemingly after spotting a Lioness and Anteater standing over the squashed remains of a Scorpion, it waas reported to him, by a bitter old Coal hewer who was born under the sign of Acquarius? The general Verdict? Naught but a pile of codswallop and Doggie Doo! Rhymer!

The poor old COSTER was selling his wares beneath the GRAPE ARBOR on the edge of the SWAMP, where a SLOW WORM was patiently boring through some of his fruit. He wore a pair of GAITERS on his feet, which were stained with DOGGIE DOO, and something like a PETTICOAT inexplicably on his torso. He was quite a sight.

Well to his left, a tame old LIONESS was finishing off two RASHERS of bacon, and an ANTEATER was burrowing into an anthill.

It was the fancy dress Charity ball of the Costers. With such a varied gathering, the night began with a Slow Worm conga line procession. It being one for abandonment, whereby participants would celebrate the Ancient Order of Barrow Boys. Along with a menu of grilled Rashers the ‘Theme’ was to be their fanciful interpretation of an American Football Scrum. As a result, party goers arriving in droves, were dressed in all manner of garb. One Small Forward wore Gaiters with a ‘gay’ uniform. Another participant found himself at the wrong party, but fascinated by what he saw, remained anyway! Yet another, was dressed in a Petticoat, looking like a beefy effeminate linesman! One heavily built man, carried a Table Tennis - otherwise known as Ping Pong - bat. He was supposedly a Linebacker. If you can imagine such a scene? Then Welcome. You certainly are a worthy participant! Rhymer.

Only a PUDDING HEAD KLUTZ would attempt to do a SCRUM like a SLOW WORM with a SMALL FORWARD and a QUARTERBACK with FISHNET BRIEFS who'd been CATAPULTed onto a PING PONG table! He should go back to playing BACKGAMMON!

Without a doubt, it had been a memorial Bacchanalian night. Hosted by a Nordic Billionaire it had been billed as an eclectic evening Symphony, which had proved to be a Cornucopia of delight. Taking place after a prolonged session of Backgammon, it had abruptly ended when a Klutz intruder - a typical aberrant Pudding Head who, dressed in Fishnet briefs, had Catapulted into the games room. Thus ended our night of symphonic rapture! Rhymer.

I was enjoying a Mocha latte, even as the Cortege entered the Church grounds. Serenaded by a friendly Delightful Rapture group of the deceased friends - a rhythmic Raptor band, instead of the normally Mediocre Aberrant over rated Sphincter Rock group that attended most funerals. Those miscreants from the local Order of Menopause groupies would fondle dried Umbilical cords from which hung string instruments, salvaged from a Merry-go-round carousel, as they played a Requiem to mourners attending.

I want off of this slow-moving, lifeless MENOPAUSE-like MERRY-GO-ROUND that I'm on inside this little SHANTY at the back end of my home where the only enjoyment I've experienced of late is sipping on a MOCHA LATTE. I feel like I need some kind of sensual experience to come over me like a TSUNAMI

Earlier I was taking part in a Scavenger hunt with a veritable Tsunami of searchers. This little Melodrama was playing out in The Black Forest as we gathered to turn Inside-out the possible hide-out of one they called Gopher. He, an ex-Librarian, was a vile Scavenger that had caused the Demolition of a Shanty retreat, from which listeners had heard the haunting strains of Elgar’s Requiem resonating earlier. Rhymer.

I felt like the REQUISITE CASTAWAY in the MELODRAMA of our neighborhood SCAVENGER hunt last month. The local LIBRARIAN wanted us to cause our neighbors to turn their drawers and storage spaces INSIDE-OUT until we were able to make a DEMOLITION of her long list of items. You see, last year she'd been sorely defeated when she thought she'd won, so she took on the role of AVENGER, determined that this hunt's result would be the ANTITHESIS of the previous one, since she has never learned the meaning of the word "ACCEPTANCE."

Having no idea what a Croissan’wich might taste like? I was moved to seek a Contemporaneous - perhaps tasty - Sausage Biscuit to taste. But it too was obviously a Castaway experiment of a Nervous Nellie chef, who had refused the Acceptance of Requisite Condiments be added. This was her Antithesis approach, as suited an Avenger.

Reveling Rhymer and NERVOUS NELLIE are CONTEMPORANEOUS with each other, though they've never met, because NN seldom leaves her CONDOMINIUM except to go to Burger King to buy a CROISSAN'WICH for breakfast or to McDonald's for a SAUSAGE BISCUIT, whereas RR prefers to go to his favorite haunt for lunch, where he gets a STICKLEBACK sandwich with generous CONDIMENTS, including PICKLES, plus a nice, plump PAMPLEMOUSSE. Unfortunately, NN would never go there because the owner is a POMPOUS ASS!

Last Christmas, CAROLINE BOUVIER KENNEDY, no GRINCH and certainly no STICK-IN-THE-MUD, visited the US Naval ship, certainly no BATTLESHIP, but the last of the Kitty Hawk Class aircraft carriers, the USS John F. Kennedy (CV-67), now in Philadelphia as a museum ship waiting for its dismantling. Her late father's name will be transferred to the future Gerald R. Ford-class carrier John F. Kennedy (CV-79). As a Christmas present, she brought a basket of POMEGRANATES to every attendant of the ship in honor of her Dad. Even the SEAGULLS were IMPRESSED with her visit, and several of the ship's EGREGIOUS DEADLIGHTS opened up as if to clap for her!

After she left Philadelphia, she traveled north to the northeastern-most corner of Pennsylvania and crossed into northern NJ to the old NEWTON ABBEY, nestled between PA and eastern NY. The monks there had asked her to visit, again in honor of her father, the Late President, and she gave each of them a Christmas present as well after an hour of silence together.

I'm a scavenger living near the border of the Black Forest. There are plenty of gophers under my patch of garden, ruining my tiny lawn and plants.
It's no melodrama, but I'd sure like to hear a requiem for these annoying critters.
I used to be a librarian until a tsunami wrecked our town, leaving everything inside-out. Along came the demolition squad, so that's why I'm now living from hand to mouth.

I feel like an out-of-place PUMPKIN about to be involved in some MELODRAMA, but I'm anxious to visit COVENT GARDEN as the first stop in our SCAVENGER hunt together, turning everything INSIDE-OUT to get all the things on our list, even willing to walk through the scraps of the local DEMOLITION site, doing everything short of visiting SHARM EL SHEIK.
