Unplug Me – A Haiku!
Ninnyhammer! Friday’s Word of the Day
Happy Friday…April Fools Day! Today’s dictionary.com Word of the Day is a timely tidbit…Ninnyhammer! It’s origin: “Ninnyhammer entered English in the late 1500s. Its first element, ninny, meaning “a fool or simpleton,” may be a pet form of the proper name Innocent.”
I love this word! It’s fun to say! “He/she is such a ninnyhammer!” rolls off the tongue quite nicely! And I do think I’ll be adding this one to my PC arsenal of go-to words for those times when my voice is within earshot of my tender, very impressionable grandchildren! An alternative to “what an ASS!” my default expletive! “What a ninnyhammer!” will do nicely and is whimsical enough to diffuse my angst! Thank you dictionary.com for this delightful word! I can think of several as….er ninnyhammers in my life who have earned a new nickname!
Here’s the Haiku then. Hoping that you will not have to suffer too many ninnyhammers this 1st Day of April!!!
The first of April!
a day for ninnyhammer’s
hoping to blend in!

Let Them Eat Dirt!
Cartoonist Dave Granlund at davegranlund.com
Politicians hawk their brand, | To the media talking heads
Snake oil purveyors | who clamor for the latest dirt
whose loyalty is sold | because dirt sells advertising
to the highest bidder… | where truth doesn’t matter…
vile bottom feeders | just don’t call yourselves journalists!

Brrrr…my Buddy!
My Sun Conure , Mr. Bean, celebrating “Talk Like A Pirate Day” last year!
“Shiver Me Timbers!”
his mate Polly squawked on repeat…
“Avast!” old Jack cried!
No truer friend, she,
Willing to shiver, huddled
With me, ice fishing.
Their friendship was true
Growing deeper into love,
Two hearts a-flutter.
