You can make something out of every unfinished story and every rejection if you work at it.

Dadku: my gardening playlist
Britney Garden Shears
Classic hit: I’m not a grape,
not yet a raisin.
(A dadku is my own creation. A dad joke in the traditional 575 haiku format)
Pessimistic Wisdom:
It’s always good to carry your wallet, you never know when you’ll be robbed
It is much easier
To rationalise
When dealing with
Rational lies
Your lost hair
Are everywhere
Reminding me of you
What grips the heart, strays
What touches the soul, stays
Acrostic: SWAK
Sealed with a kiss
Warm lips pressed
And sent with love
Knowingly addressed
What’s the most confusing thing in the world?
That you can’t see just how beautiful you are.
Weekly Theme:
Unfinished Work
I’ve rummaged through previously unfinished work with fresh eyes in an attempt to clear the clutter.
I might have to try a dadku. My children will certainly not be surprised by my doing so.

We share this opinion. My family, on the other hand… Thinks you’ve just provided me with a lethal weapon.

Dadku! I’m going to have to share this with Sparky! He thinks it is his mission in life to share dad jokes at every opportunity! He is going to possibly become a poet!!!

I usually get robbed once a week. It’s normally in the WalMart “self checkout” line, so always carry my wallet 🤣.

I try to do it a couple of times a year. Still, it only puts a dent in the pile.
Thanks. The dadku has been more popular than I expected.
