Inspired By Hercules + Dancing With Nonsense (Throwback Thursday)

Prompts = Shower, Plus, Nonsense

Story New — Inspired By Hercules

It’s said that Hercules, during one of his labours, rerouted two rivers to wash away the accumulated filth of a huge stable.

I’m thinking of doing the same thing.

Kind of.

If you substitute “master bathroom shower with thirty-plus nozzles” for “huge stable”, you’ll see the need to divert a raging river or two to my house for good water pressure.

But the rivers are glacially fed and I want pleasantly warm, so I’ll dig a hole deep enough to create a volcanic vent. Simple.

You wouldn’t believe the nonsense reasons environmentalists are using to try to stop me.

Story Old — Dancing With Nonsense

I dance with Nonsense,

in a shower of warming rain.

I bow to him and he to me.

My madness made plain.


He in his overcoat

and me in my cap

Heady summertime smells

Like rose and pine sap


Deliciously delightful

only my dance partner and I

One and one plus no other

Spread our wings and like birds we fly


Oh Nonsense is like no other

He’s freely dee dee di dee

Delicious dances in summer

And he lives inside of me
