Playground bullies going round and round.

In and out. Upside down.

Playground bullies all grown up.

Still are clueless as what to do.

Playground bullies spit and shout.

Spewing uglies all about.

Playground bullies entertain.

With their charming kiddy games.

Playground bullies live to fight.

Hit me once. Hit me twice.

I will only look at you.

Spin me round. Shout my name.

I will only look away.

Playground bullies looking tough.

More like 'fraidy cats with no names.

Got no spine. Got old game.

Like to play hide and seek.

When it's time to say your name.

Playground bullies run away.

I'm not hiding. I'm right here.

Playground bullies spreading doom.

I'm here to say that's not what I do.

I'm not into putting others down.

I'd rather spread some joy around.

Playground bullies...here's the deal.

Your playground has no room for me.

I have a better place to be.

Playground bullies I will never dance with you.

Because bullying is just not what I do.

A mosquito was heard to complain

that a chemist had poisoned his brain!

And the cause of his sorrow

was paradichloro-

diphenyltrichloroethane.

I dunno. Maybe someone needs to grow up.

Q: What do this blogger's writings and my dryer's lint trap have in common?

A: They both produce useless fluff.

Reminds me of a woman I work with, she had to be a bully when she was young. Matter of fact, she still is!!!

If you wear primarily cotton clothing your dryer lint would work just fine in a compost. I have seen hats and mittens knitted out of dryer fluff. Mix dryer fluff with wood chips and wax. Makes an excellent fire starter.

Dryer fluff also makes a wonderful batting for throw pillows or a child's stuffed toy. It also smells wonderful- just like laundry!

Playground bullies and dryer fluff

And surely, if that's not quite enough,

We've got pillows, compost and other stuff.

And a mosquito has been poisoned today!?

Well, Bully for the chemist, is what I say.

"I ain't lookin' to compete with you,

Beat or cheat or mistreat you,

Simplify you, classify you,

Deny, defy, or crucify you.

All I really want to do

Is, baby, be friends with you."

Applicable or not, it's always good to interject some Bob.

Are we all bored today????

Any suggestions on where to go for a nice 3 day trip, preferably to the ocean, though any place with natural beauty and wonder would be just fine? We can leave late 5/24 and return anytime 5/27.

Keep in mind we want a bully-free trip.

I'm not in school anymore.

The cowardly lion was kind of scary before Dorthy smacked him.
