We are the Friday Shoot-out MEMBERS.
But, drop one M and we'd be embers.
I'll miss my darling, loving MATE.
She lost an M, and then was ATE!
If M were taken from the MASSES,
They'd be reduced to simple....well, you know.
I took the Ms from a MICKEY CAMPOUT,
And, then we had an Ickey Capout.
God took a single rib of Adam,
Then, added M to make his MADAM.
*
Here, in our town we love our WAL MART.
Without its M, it would be WAL ART.
The M transforms our Os and others
To make terrific MOMS and MOTHERS.
(Four generations of beautiful women.)
****
M saw a world of human anger,
And, gave its all to build a MANGER.
We thought it strange when cousin MANDY,
Had dropped her M, and then was Andy.
(Oldest grandchild, Kayla, all female)
****
A dish of M & Ms is grand,
But, with no Ms, there are no &s.
Without the M in Daisey's MILK,
She's just a beast of bovine ilk.
Without the M, I would be ailing.
Gordon, I must say Bravo
ReplyDeleteFor your post is quite the salvo!
All the Ms lined up to bow
to your witty know how!
What a witty post! lol
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I stayed awake
ReplyDeleteTo read your fascinating take
On this week's Friday Shoot-Out theme,
A very Mesmerizing Meme.
Your 'M" post amused me
ReplyDeleteIt should make you boast!
You've proven yourself
A most charming host.
I giggled, I gaffawed
I snorted and wheezed
By dropping a letter
You surely did tease.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh you are SOOOOOOOOOOOO clever!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd the Mimosa is beautiful. Truly I loved your post.
thank you for helping celebrate my granddaughter Matilda with the letter M.

ReplyDeleteGordon,
ReplyDeleteYou a witty,
You are funny,
You are clever.
If you were my student, I will get you to come to the front of the class and tell the others what a good example of a successful "green" imaginative hat wearer you are.
The End!
Cheers,
Ann
BTW. The mimosa in South East Asia is different from your mimosa. It is a creeping plant and has a small marble size flower. If you touch it, the leaves will curl up, thus giving it's other name sensitive plants.

We do have the plant you call it mimosa. Is it quite a big shrub? I must try to find out what they call it there.
Wonderful 'M' post Gordon, it made me smile, thank you.
ReplyDeleteI especially loved the flowers. :D
So creative and wonderful photos!
ReplyDeletelol! This was awesome!

ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the M Shoot Out you put together. It really was funny. taking the M out and putting it back in was very mmm.....clever! Thank you for the very happy start to a somewhat tenuous week. It's a good omen. I loved the anger/manger changer. =D

ReplyDeleteDad! Dad! Dad! you never stop creating do you?!
