trash and chintz
her heart was broken
he left without
ne'ery a token
he was even so thorough
as to empty the bin
removing all traces
of what they'd had then
I'm hearing "The Days of Wine and Roses" playing sadly in the background.
The colors in this shot are striking. It's like a watercolor. Everything working together from the colors in the chair to the colors of the can and lid to the ivory and gray of the wall and shadow to the ground. One of the best!
Caption: Grandma liked to sit outside all day, especially when she had the flu. She'd sip ginger ale, and the big can was always at the ready.
Judy: One of the bandleaders who plays at the local swing dances once introduced a song this way, "This song is about my uncle who was both an alcoholic and a gardener." He then proceeded to play "The Days of Wine and Roses." I can't hear the song anymore without thinking of that with a smile!
We have a polka-dotted glide rocker in our garage, it didn't make the cut, so we call it the Adult Timeout Chair. I'm reluctant to give it away, it's the chair where I read all 52 novels for my M.A. in Comp Lit in 1977...This is a delightful photograph, I would caption it Timeout Chair for the Missus (even old ladies can misbehave).
"Grandma Dips Snuff." Use your imagination.....
When Martha's husband forced her to discard her chintz-covered chair, she tucked his lucky hockey puck into the seat corner.
I don't know...it just doesn't get any better than Dixie Jane's "Grandma dips snuff"!!!
George wanted to make sure the trashman picked up the old chair he'd left out by the trash, so he asked Barbara to make sure. Babs took a cup of tea and relaxed in her favorite old chair that she really didn't want to lose. She dozed off before the refuse collector arrived. She slept so soundly that the trashman thought she was a mannequin and that the "take me" sign she was holding was meant for her. Imagine the surprise George had when he went out to find an empty trash can and no Barbara. And, he was still stuck with the old chair. It was not a good day for George.
"Armchair Consumer"
These are outstanding!!!
Q: Only 1 of these is Trash. Which 1 is it?
Judy... did you write that poem?
Caption: Four Star Dining for a Dumpster Diver.
Sometimes Old Man Hector just liked to sit with his trash.
Waiting for the bins.
Love your poem, Judy!
I agree with Mr Earl about the picture itself.
They are all great and I'm still laughing!

Oleg K... HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!!!!!!
The cat's favorite chair at his favorite restaurant.
You find the most unusual things, Laurie!
I love you people!!!
I am still laughing. Thank you. I have said it before but I'll repeat myself -- these are my favorite posts. You are all so funny and clever.
Until tomorrow!

Have I lived in Alabama too long? I'm thinking so...
Virg, you are awesome.
I can't really think of a caption, but the chair and trash can look like they're up to no good. Like they're sneaking away. I like it.
