#SomethingEveryday #Octopus @sonnetsmith.bsky.social

if an octopus were human
it would rule the world
unless it was content
sitting at the bar
betting people
it could escape
the pickled egg jar

Wandered too close to
The water, face-hugging shock,
Death by octopus.

Don't want to know what
Happened to the bathtub, brown
Splashes, flecks of blood.

I still see your knees
Peeking from beneath
Islands in an epsom salt sea
Washing away the toxicity
Of mankind and of me
Eroding in waves of deceit
Now the waters recede
And I am left to grieve
This brown bathtub ring

#sing in the bathtub
she belts out all the cool tunes

Oct. 7 is #BathtubDay!

When it’s time to get clean, we can choose
Either shower or #bathtub — I’ll use
A hot shower each time
Cuz I hate soapy slime,
And in tubs the slime clings like tattoos.

If I wish to spend my day
in a bathtub
I will have my way
it's where I get my best work done
a place to do my thinking

we are so often warned
don’t throw away the baby
with the bath water
but if the baby is Trump
throw out the baby the water the bathtub
hell throw out the plumber

"Conjunction of Love"

Technically wrote it at 3 AM in Japan on the 6th. Still that's the 6th in most of the rest of the world 😉😜🙂

I miss my #dad
it has been ten months
since I have seen him
But this Christmas
I hope to see him again
but it will be complicated
as Mum gets older

#SomethingEveryday #Badger #dad @sonnetsmith.bsky.social

growing up suburban
badgers and most other critters exist
in my experience only metaphorically
my dad was often snoring off the gin
but my mom badgered me incessantly
droppin’ g’s and y’know her main peeves
but I’m like y’know incorrigible

Today - October 6th - is UK National #Badger Day! So #prose, #poetry, and #artwork dedicated to badgers please.
(It's also my dad's birthday... So #dad poetry is also welcome)

Based on a true story. I wish I had a picture, but the operator was too swift!

#JamesBond
depends on his Q
relies on his M
even if the faces change
the technology evolves
a bygone age
and a fantastical era
a symbol of the suave
and competent
secret agent

"My name's my bond"
I misoverheard
And so I said
"I've been expecting ..."

Met by blank look
My quip died away
Like a dry gin
Missing its Vermouth
