I’ve got a busy day ahead but I wanted to post something; apologies if you have seen this before. Today’s prompt for Writer’s Island is triumph. I hope to write something else so this is a stopgap:
Dog Day Afternoon
Spring day; a walk in
the park: the triumph of hope
over effluence.
I am a little fat. I like food; what can I say? I have dull hair: mousey. I don’t wear much make-up and have no need of a dressing table. If I look like a bag lady, I chose my own clothes. If I look nice, the Hub picked them for me. Despite all this, I am a little vain. This photograph is from 2003. I had to go back that far to find one of me that I liked. But I don’t really care: my husband still thinks I’m beautiful and if he doesn’t, he loves me enough to lie about it. I’m lucky. I have two boys. They never lie to me. Still, you can't have everything.
I have, but it’s worth re-reading for the giggle.

I’m glad you all enjoyed it. I must confess, it was fun to write; I love punning.
