Acme products always win, depending on the punter's pin - voting for the name on top elects the chump who'll be a flop - read the list as far as first to hire the cowboy that's the worst - if you'd like to laze today, select the alphabetic way - employ wild chance and start to pray!

This poem was written by me and my grandson, aged six, who also chose the picture.
did you ever
ride
a beast with scaly skin and teeth so sharp that
goes above the town and breathes
out fire for hours and hours
nobody in sight – hmm – wonder why?

My latest visit to https://randomwordgenerator.com/ threw up the word correspondence …
coming thick and fast our troubles rising tides reducing hopes experts giving ground to prophets sifting sand like tin-pot popes only one idea can save us never tried though often thought ditch the itch of acquisition each true value can't be bought novelty resides in nuance cheap as chips and free to all every priceless insight yours to call
Here’s another little poem, courtesy of https://randomwordgenerator.com/ – the word I got was restless …
round the world in eighty hours speed the essence time the prize left behind our easy livings slow progressions simple skies
It’s a year and a half now since they stopped posting them but – alack and alas, I blush to confess it! – still kinda miss those helpful little WordPress Daily Prompts and their soothing subtitle: Sometimes, you sit down to blog but your words and photos get stuck — prompts give them a push.
No use crying over spilt milk, of course, especially when your eggs are in more than one basket! Words are ten a penny and there are many ways to stumble across them. Open a dictionary, for example, and with eyes closed let your fingers do the walking. Or else click on a site such as https://randomwordgenerator.com/ which does exactly what it says on the tin.
The key thing, though, is to go with that word no matter what it is. After all, it’s hardly random if you have a choice. Unless you want some wriggle-room and decide to do best of three …
I got porter. Almost clicked again but thought I oughta lead by example and stick with it!
perhaps having much too much to say or else much too little time to say very much reduces my desire to string words like pearls to say anything much except when words picked at random carry me from such silence to say something
If anyone should come up with something from a random word, please send me a link – or else the something itself!
I’d love to read it … 🙂
Remember this friendly voice?

That’s right, the late lamented WordPress Daily Prompt – gentle nudge of encouragement or brutal kick up the backside, depending on how far down the road of utter uselessness we were.
At the moment I’m an unlucky thirteen days up a clueless cul-de-sac and shaking my silent satnav in blind fury … although just now I remembered a useful link and, er, hit it.
Wanna know the useful link? Anyone who’s never short of subjects to write about can look away now. For the rest, here is a pretty handy webpage:
I got river, which I’ve made into an acrostic poem.
r olling ever down to wider seas i carry weight of memory with ease v olumes still unwritten seek their end in e stuaries where water stories blend in r ain clouds moving back to feed our source
Well, it’s a start … here’s hoping it’s set the ball rolling again!
I could have told a simpler tale, without this pressing
N eed to string my snaky sentences around
E ach letter of a given word. But there again,
F itting phrase to form is half a poem’s fun.
F or pity’s sake, you cry, don’t leave us high and dry …
I s Blushing Bob to languish while Yellowbaby basks?
C ut to the chuffing chase, then, Bob’s turned whistle-blower!
I n a flash the fuzz tracked down those Lucky Charms,
E ach step a little closer to Yellowbelly’s hide.
N ow he’s in jug while Bob’s cheeks blush – though now, of course, with pride.
T he End. PS It’s not over till the jelly baby springs! (Oh yes it is! Ed.)
