“That was not necessary.”

"Maybe it wasn't, but I wanted to do it."

"Listen, I know how tired you get ..."

A loud, cheerful male voice interrupted the two women. "Are my dear Mom and my darling wife at it again? What is it this time?"

"Harold, look, Mamma baked a cake for my birthday!"

Harold entered the kitchen and looked at the gooey chocolate cake sitting next to the oven, the icing saying 'Happy Birthday Alicia'.

"Alicia, Mamma likes doing this. She bakes a cake for me and for Pappa ..."

"But Mamma gets so tired, we could've ordered a cake ..."

There were tears in her mother-in-law's eyes now. "A store bought cake is never like a home-baked one. I just wanted to make you happy."

"Of course you made her happy, Mamma, you made her too happy!" Harold said, with a little laugh. He drew the two women in his life into a big hug.

It was time for another male voice to interrupt. "Why am I left out of this family hug?"

Mamma held her hands out to her husband. "You're in it now," she said, and he joined in. Mamma, in a sudden burst of affection, held his face in her hands and gave him a long kiss on the lips.

Pulling back, he made a comical face at her. "Mamma, in front of the kids?" he cried, in pretended shoci. “That was not necessary.”

The thing you’d find most ominous if it were inside a fortune cookie.


Fed up with taxes was she
Opened up a fortune cookie!

"You are rich beyond your wildest dreams!"
The place was full of her screams.

"No, no, really I'm not
I have declared all I've got!"

Dream? Nightmare!
All the tax men there.

"She's rich, she's rich
She must pay, she cannot ditch!"

"She's rich, she's rich,
Hidden it away, she's a witch!"

"She's rich, she's rich
Not to say it, but she's a B****!"

At this, she woke, sweating
Taxes really had her fretting.

Took deep breaths, calmed down
Then a smile replaced the frown.

She'd met the tax man yesterday
Given him the amount she had to pay.

It was a very smooth investigation
The trauma was her imagination.

Yes, she was rich in many things
Family and friends her main blessings.

She put her head back on the pillow
Now her thoughts were mellow.

"I'm rich, I'm rich, and I'm grateful
To have blessings is so cool!"

Clickety Click Clack
The train is on the track

Clickety Click Clack
Takes you there and back

Clickety Click Clack
With luggage on the rack


Clackety Clack Click
The signal's down, quick!

Clackety Clack Click
Drop off, or pick!


What do the wheels say
As they take you on your way?

Listen to them sing
what message do they bring?

Are you going to, or from?
Heart calm, or like a storm?

The wheels just echo
The rhythm in you, you know.

Clickety-clack happy if you're glad
Clackety-click morose, if you're sad

The wheels speak in code
Running along with their load

But for each passenger
Its meaning does differ

Because, right from the start
It echoes the beat of each heart.

Dash it all, my brain
Has gone all wonky again!

It's getting to be
bigger than my head!

My cranium has to strain
To house my brain

All my wit doesn't quite fit
Can't get it all in this noggin!

Wit's getting to be
bigger than my head!

I'm so bright
my skull feels tight

Could anyone be as clever?
Never, never!

I'm smart, I'm canny, I'm astute, I'm keen
my brain's the biggest you've ever seen.

Glitz getting to be
bigger than my head!

So, my dear, you get the idea?
The first MB is coming to me! *Wink*


Prompt:

The thing that is bigger than your head that you wish was smaller than your head.

I went for a Drum Jam yesterday.

I have no sense of rhythm, but everyone else was making so much noise, my missed beats weren't missed by them! *Wink*

It was a little harder when the instructor had us play individually, though. *Blush*

It had been one of those weeks. The washing machine had conked and the number she had for the repairman had gone invalid. She'd have to book the repairman online and she was too old for that, she didn't do these things online. In her mind's eye, she saw a pile of dirty laundry growing till it became a mountain ... this was silly. She needed to call someone and get some sense knocked into her head.

She could text, at least. One by one, she texted her friends - 'may I call?' One by one, they either human-replied or auto-replied 'sorry busy now' in some way. She had nobody!

Fiercely, she wiped the tears off. No self-pity, she admonished herself. You've chosen to live alone. She went to You Tube and clicked randomly on some instrumental music. She listened. It was their song, but he wasn't here anymore. Involuntarily, her feet began to dance. She danced till she was exhausted, and then sank on to the sofa.

She could text. She picked up the phone and texted.

Fifteen minutes later, the bell rang and she went to answer the door. "You ordered cake, Madam?"

She paid the cash and carried the cake carefully in. She put it on the table. She set two places - table-mat, plate, knife, fork.

"Happy Anniversary, darling, and please don't get any cake on your clothes, the washing machine isn't working."
