The Daily Teaser — 27-5-2015

Wouldn’t you know it?

I’m literally yawning my head off, here.

You’ve probably worked out I’m now working: in a local fast-food restaurant.

I can’t complain about that.

Especially after some four years out of work.

But … ?   But I’ll tell you what, starting at nine … ?

Starting at nine — for me — means getting up at five to get a post or three up.

And, boy … but my eyeballs know it!

~≈Ê≈~

But let’s get a move on, shall we?

I’ll leave you with this thought from Siouxsie Sioux …

“I like a bit of eye candy like anyone but to have it solely about the eye candy and have it fall into a category so rigidly as well is wrong.”

Siouxsie Sioux, born 27th May, 1957.

And this tune … 

Have a good day … !
