Mag 273 - Stupid People Trick

Stupid People Trick
Prompt by Magpie Tales

Are people more stupid?
Or is it we just stupidly record them?
Is it the fault of the smart phone
used by dumb people?
Or the social media
which urges us
to Top This.

Am I getting old?
Because I do not see this as funny?
Have I lost my sense of humor
because my mind knows
what can go wrong
with getting out
of this?

I know I see things differently
I look at the open hole beneath his pose
and imagine kindling a fire
adding water to the urn
to create a broth
stir till it boils
then snap.

Maybe it is the witch in me.

  7. A man in a cauldron is indeed something a witch could find. Myself I thought he looked like he was bathing in a cocktail glass.
