Dear Baby, I waited 40 long weeks to finally meet you and you are better than any one, little person I could imagine. You are perfect and although you will change a little every day for the rest of your life I want you to know that I love all of you, no matter what changes occur. I will love you for all you do and for those things you choose not to do, I will love you for all the good choices you make and all your mistakes, I will love you for your accomplishments and your failures, and I will love you because you are you and there will never be anyone like you again. Love Mommy

The Wiggles were one of the first groups I thought of when I saw Australian music. I never knew of them in the early 90’s but we went to a live concert when my kids were little. It was awesome! My kids loved music so they loved the show! November 24, 2001 New London, CT Garde Arts Center (https://wiggles.fandom.com/wiki/The_Wiggles%27_10th_Birthday_Tour)
Lyrics
Get Ready to Wiggle We’ve been ready for so long Get Ready to Wiggle When you wiggle you can’t go wrong Get Ready to Wiggle Wiggle will make you big and strong Get Ready to Wiggle Come on wiggle to this song Wiggle to this song
We’re ready to wiggle Wiggle your fingers high in the sky We’re ready to wiggle Wiggle your ears and wiggle your eyes We’re ready to wiggle Wiggle your hair and wiggle your nose We’re ready to wiggle Come on wiggle all ten toes Wiggle all ten toes
Wiggle and wiggle Wiggle at home without a care Wiggle and wiggle Wiggle alone or with your teddy bear Wiggle and wiggle Wiggle at breakfast lunch or tea Wiggle and wiggle Wiggle along with me That’s right wiggle along with me (Ba damp ba bamb ba damp ba damp)
Do you think you’d be game to try nudism, someday? I really only have a few problems with nudism…1. There are too many freaky weirdos who do f—-ed up things to people for no reason. 2. Some people think that only one body type is “good”. 3. Clothes off don’t need to be the equivalent of sexual activity and 4. Some people are NOT clean and have no intention on changing that and that is not something I want to encounter! 5. Has anyone thought of diseases? 🤢
Narcotic skies depict the culture of the world Where a fondness for hatred encapsulate thought An obtuse idea indicative of our leaders Who think of nothing more than sinking lower than ought
I don’t want to be saved in a place like a cupboard Closed and dark opened only once for a simple cup The design of our world should be clean and open Allowing us to live in peace, while the evil shut up
We are all different or that’s what they all say like the tiles lining the wall of a bathroom stall Scrubbed clean only when someone wants to do it showing the shine that is hiding under it all.
Someday there will be life without hate or sadness Brought on by others who have no care for the lame Grief is free, given when we have loved ones who depart In the end, don’t we know we all are the same
Someone threw me a curve ball last week, so I am going with Alter Egos today. Prominent figures, but who would you match as their alter ego? It doesn’t have to be Super Heroes, you can use real people or fictional characters, the answers are up to you as they’re all fibs after all! Be silly, cheeky, or outrageous, but keep it family friendly please, and have fun!
I am not one to know celebrity names and I don’t follow social media type stuff so I had to go mostly on impression…
1. Boris Johnson – Animal
2. Madonna – Fiona
3. Victoria Beckham – Millie Bobby Brown
4. Roger Federer – Gonzo
5. James Bond – Feathers McGraw
6. Ebenezer Scrooge – Ozzy Ozbourne
7. H.G. Wells – John Wilkes Booth
8. Agatha Christie – Angela Lansbury
9. Liberace – Elvis
10. Winston Churchill – The (Original) Gerber baby
The mayor thought her precious with a deadpan-looking face Flowers lined her golden hair, each blossom in its place The ring upon her small white hand glowed in the murky light The evergreen outside the door stood ready for a fight The knock came unexpectedly like winners in a race An election of her boyish love etched on her pretty face Coming in from the cold outside he smiled and bowed his head For all he really wanted was some food and a warm bed She knew this was her love for good, love for eternal life Little did he know right then she vowed to be his wife Waking in the morning feeling fresh and rested well The lad stood tall and stretched himself, his body feeling swell He laid his eyes upon the girl and fell most instantly and that is how the happy couple really came to be.
