Hmmmm
No Opinion
for
CRANKY OPINION SATURDAY
It is after
Wednesday, I thought I was over the hump, but it is almost Saturday and I still
have no idea on a post for Cranky Opinion Saturday.
I hate it
when I get into a writers slump, I think and think and I got nothing.
When I have
no ideas I just goof around and can’t get off my rump. Mrs. Cranky is no help; she just calls me a
jerk and a grump.
I thought
about taking on the Cam Newton hissy fit, I actually kind of understand
why he acted as he did, but I still can’t agree with it, so that was a topic I
had to dump.
I could
always write about my go-to topic, TV, but I think that I’ve overdone that
topic. I don’t think it would get me a
single fist bump.
There is one
topic I’d like to jump on but I’ve vowed to stay away because of all the
haters.
There it is;
I’m completely stumped. There is no
topic that comes close to getting me pumped.
The last
time I opined on Religion I took a bunch of lumps. I could write about how the
younger generation is going to send us to Hell in a hand basket, but that just
makes me sound like a frump.
I thought
about posting my opinion on gun control, but I don’t want to seem as dumb as
Forest Gump. Then I could maybe post on
the Beyonce Super Bowl controversy, but whatever my opinion on that I would appear
to be a chump.
Still
thinking as my palm hits my forehead with a thump.
I could
break my vow and take a shot at politics.
There is a candidate that I really like, almost as much as Andy was in
love with Helen Crump.
Naw, I got
nothing.
So you sat there thinking, "Damn you, Blank page. You Mock me with your Blankness." (borrowed from fishducky)
ReplyDeleteHumph.
ReplyDeleteNot sure why I said that.
I have often wondered if this happens. Bill O'Reilly has his "Outrage of the Day" segment (or used to, anyway), and I wondered whether he ever starts getting ready for work and thinks, "You know, I just don't feel outraged today!"
He never resorterd to rhyming, though, which is a shame, if you think about it. The Grinch went that route and it served him well.
I never got the idea that Andy was as much in love with Helen as she was with him. Even as a kid I thought there wasn't much of a spark between them.
ReplyDeleteWell this was an entertaining read and you didn't insult anyone. I think you did just fine. I just read between the lines and formed my own opinions.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day. ☺
You're doing OK with free flow poetry.
ReplyDeleteSo you're in a slump...
ReplyDeleteYou think you're stumped.
Don't be a chump.
Don't just sit there like a clump.
Get off your rump
And jump!!
Get pumped!!
Get over this hump.
Do what I do--
Fake it until you make it!!
I really enjoyed how you worked in all your "ump's. You were still entertaining for a slump.
ReplyDeleteWell, at least you didn't go THERE! LOL
ReplyDeleteThank goodness you stayed away from the controversy of that vaccine for the mumps.
ReplyDeleteI hate days like that.
ReplyDeleteDid you not eat your Wheaties this morning?
ReplyDeleteYou made me smile at the end of a hard day. That's a good thing.
ReplyDeleteHmmm... actually sounds like you had plenty. But perhaps you took the wisest course :)
ReplyDeleteA little late for this past Saturday, but the dead justice should offer some ideas.
ReplyDeleteR
Maybe you could write a bridge column. . .
