There's music playing Mick Jagger, David Bowie Dancing in the street Live Aid special video So adorable, so weird #tanka The #vssdaily #prompt for 9/19/25 was #street
Bane's not a licensed therapist Not by his recollection But what he lacks in "book learnin'" He makes up in affection
Love love love it ❤️❤️❤️
Stopped into a church As it's mandatory Well I got down on my knees (Got down on my knees) And thanked God that I'm free (very audibly) You know they use AI (I hate AI) For keeping tabs on me (very buggily) Repub-lican dreamin' ('publican dreamin') Please just let me beeeee
Howdy folks, I'm Kash Patel My face has resting "what the hell" For competence I'm not your guy Somehow I run the FBI
Tosh: Thank you, I try my best Steve: How very dare you‽
Tosh: Is it time for the podcast? Steve: Of course Tosh: Yay! Do I get to sit in again? Steve: Of course Tosh: Is my microphone still broken? Steve: Of course
Who knows what today might bring (derogatory)
We are family Everyone is related Shouldn't that matter? #haikufeels
The AI broke down, what a shame Thus proving the whole thing was lame Why couldn't he look In a recipe book? They said that the WiFi's to blame #limerick
If I understand the conservative view of free speech, it is: We can say whatever we want regardless of consequences and should never suffer repercussions and will cry victim if you point out we are wrong with facts and will do whatever possible to ruin your life.
I will not take this in my stride You've pushed it all too far Both my eyes are open wide And I see what you are You pandered to a childish slob And never wondered why The frog lies dead upon the hob Its saucepan has boiled dry The #vssdaily #prompt for 9/18/25 was #stride
"Jump on my signal Keep those damn knees together And roll when you land" #haikufeels
Amateurs. A pro would have stamped on them, first.
Thor: No opposable thumbs, sorry… Bane: Yeah, ditto… Tosh: I'll help, just tell me what to do! Steve: You have three furry critters that you could throw at the fixture until it was clean. I'm happy to supervise. Tosh: Great idea, Steve!
Damn, Zaddy, that sucks. Sending you e-hugs, lots of 'em
That is a wonderful, thank you
A quick break from gloom and doom. #catsofbluesky #flashfiction adamsonmedia.com/cats-humor-f...
The chihuahua in its natural habitat: Snuggled somewhere warm
Thank you Its opening hours are pure chaos It closes at random, I'm sure But please do not worry You won't need to hurry There isn't a lock on the door
The countertop gleaming with polish Neither too low nor too high Of shelves, they be plenty But currently empty I do not know what we can buy It's been a while, but it's still open I don't think it ever will close There's no way of telling Just what they are selling I don't really care, I suppose
They opened a branch in the strip mall Employment for young and for old Its name was amusing But slightly confusing No one really knew what they sold The #vssdaily #prompt for 9/17/25 was #branch
His first amendment rights protect the awful things he said But you can never criticize him now that he is dead He could say such nasty things that you cannot refute He is right and you are wrong, ain't that fucking cute?
Love it
Trapped in the background Feeling like we don't belong But that's what they want #haikufeels (sorry for going a little dark, there)
Sleepy September moon Sitting up there in the sky So lovely, you're making me swoon Strange that I can't explain why #WerewolfPoetry
Lay down a path of pink petals Outside when the autumn wind settles Try hard not to notice Unsafe, greasy lotus Slip and fall into some nettles #limerick #acrostic The #vssdaily #prompt for 9/16/25 was #lotus
Bane keeps you sane!
Loved the podcast today, Steve. It's a pity your list of best places to nap got derailed into a rant about "biblically accurate cats". Still, your tips for a "toned twirling torso" may come in handy one day.
The next time Steve tries to charge her while she's running, she will declare him "off-site" and send him in for an early bath.
The light show begins The sun kisses the mountains The clouds catch colors #haikufeels #Kiss #Haiku #Poetry
"Lovey-dovey ducky Dee Oh, please will you wait for me?" "Very well, my darling Mo Even though you're kinda slow" #acrostic
A guy can have hobbies. Podcaster, squirrel hunter, easily distracted guardian of an otherworldly dimension. They're all good

Their wires were all crossed Counting the cost Her compass, his map Yet they're forever lost Estranged, they explain That distance is pain But one day, by chance, They may meet once again 2/2
He was magnetic She was electric They lived a life That was fun but eccentric They felt affection And some deep connection Yet they never went In a similar direction 1/2 The #vssdaily #prompt for 9/15/25 was #compass
Final fading summer breeze Autumn comes to call Leaves are browning on the trees Looking soon to fall #acrostic #vsspic
Such a stupid bet Eighty days! Around the 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥!? It's easy money I pity poor Phineas He hasn't the foggiest… #tanka
I love the slight dropping off the ears when he first sees you. Happy Sunday, Steve! And Scott
As he knew not what to do. (Here's a tanka for the save)
Here's a capybara twirling a stick.
Floating through the empty void Lightness, weightless, soundless Getting more and more annoyed My irritation's boundless The #vssdaily #prompt for 9/14/25 was #boundless

The Hatfields keep blaming the McCoys every time a Hatfield shoots another Hatfield.
I'm fond of the epithet "twunt"

Visceral desire Wracking my body with need Addicted to you #haikufeels
Galloping over the hill Lances held low for the kill "On, lads, for glory" Reads well in a story You know, in real life, you feel ill #limerick #acrostic The #vssdaily #prompt for 9/13/25 was #glory
Sheriff Steve, the Fun Police, Will try to stop Tosh playing "Sheltie, halt, desist and cease." The message he's relaying But Tosh is such a lovely girl She doesn't care at all And Steve has no chance stopping her As he is far too small Night night, guys ❤️
My brother hit my other brother Right upon his head I bent and checked him for a pulse Oh no, I think he's dead I felt so angry and distraught But didn't make a sound I marched out to my neighbor's house And burned it to the ground
I wandered 'neath the autumn sun The wind was at my back My brand new friend, who'd trust I'd won Hopped with me down the track We settled where the field was mown And ate some magic seeds We talked of matters most unknown And darkly distant deeds
Happy Friday, folks Hope you have a great weekend Full of joy n stuff #haiku
Absolutely gorgeous
Such wisdom in one so small

"It's good to be Steve Just for a while And if you don't believe Then you're just in denial It's good to lie down Like you'll never get up Someone give a gold crown To this ornery pup. What foul webs we'd weave If we were Steve"
France? Sophisticated Russia is so cold Japan is technological Egypt's very old Italy's so passionate Switzerland's meticulous But Mexico and Canada Border on the ridiculous The #vssdaily #prompt for 9/12/25 was #border
They way things are, I wouldn't blame you if it was vodka
I meant to do that
"Scott, just go back into the house and crank up that turno-stat thing. This sun needs to be warmer."
Paddling with my trusty bow My fishy friends beside me I am not sure which way to go The birds will surely guide me I know the orchestra won't wait As sure as my name's Lolo But they will notice that I'm late When no one does my solo #poetry
Cannot stop grinning So hard to contain my joy 𝚃𝙰𝚂𝙺𝙼𝙰𝚂𝚃𝙴𝚁 is back! #haikufeels
Gorgeous
Plus Autocorrect is a piece of shiv
Goodnight, Scott Goodnight, Tosh I'm going to listen to Steve's latest podcast* where he discusses the cats and how truly awful they are *Because 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘣𝘰𝘥𝘺 has one these days
I'm wfh, so the middle of the week tends to be a drab blur of "is it Friday, yet?"
I get that, too. I'm guessing today is one of those non-weekend days that I don't care for at all.
They're all wearing black Holding a memorial For their former friend He's in a happier place As he's no longer a goth #tanka The #vssdaily #prompt for 9/11/25 was #memorial
Gotta love these prompts We devour them with relish And haiku are born #haikufeels
Now when I walk the house Thor and Bane step aside Every squirrel and mouse They all try and hide I wanna tell ya, little Tosh When I pee, I mark my own And I'm here to tell ya, Scott That I'm bad to the bone🎵
Looks like some thinkin' is being thunk
In southern Arizona Just a skosh north of the border There's a guy with a persona That one could compare to ordure He loves to shoot at cacti Takes his time as no one's rushed him If you want to hear a fact I Hear that one fell down and crushed him 🌵 The #vssdaily #prompt for 9/10/25 was #cactus

Did you even watch Endgame?
What a good girl. Best dog in the house.

Mo, a local journalist, has discovered personal letters of Steve's (mostly death threats and blackmail attempts) where the signatures are identical to the one on the offending picture If chihuahuas could feel shame…
If you look at official documents, such as "request for more 'chihuahua only' napping spots" and "petition for a comically large squirrel trap", you'll find that Steve's signature is completely different.
A long slow hell Of stubbed toes and paper cuts Interlaced with tiny whisps of hope #vssdaily #whisp #Poetry #Micropoem You'll hardly know you're reading it
Salome - her dancing entails Removing some seven silk veils But they're whispy, they cling And don't hide 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 You can already see "her details" #limerick The #vssdaily #prompt for 9/9/25 was #whisp
Any ray of sun that hits Steve is a ray that's not wasted on a cat What chihuahuas call a "win win situation"
*He does, really. But his best isn't that great and usually gets overwhelmed by his colossal self-importance
"Scott, leave me be, for goodness sake Oh, can't you see I'm on my break I try my best not to be rude* But let me rest 'til I smell food"
It's embarrassing now, but in 150 years they'll look back on this and laugh
Doesn't ICE consider international airports as "the border", too? Meaning that practically all major US cities will have to put up with this BS
Enforcing my will Doesn’t sound appealing It feels weak willed and revealing If I’m being honest… Hence, I seek to be modest By using my #power against…me Self overcoming instead of running From the darkness that my shadows see #vss365 #poetry #BlackSkyRelay
"There's only one left" Candy box or singles bar It's not a good sign #haikufeels
Good Morning, one and all!
I don't know what I expect when I put bread in the toaster as I am startled when it pops up 100% of the time.
I step on the stage With paper, tape, and a bow The crowd looks restless I notice the microphone Wait, they want me to wrap 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵? #tanka #homophone The #vssdaily #prompt for 9/8/25 was #wrap
