This piece was written for the Six Sentence Challenge, with the prompt word of ‘energy’.
With my eyesight rapidly fading, I’m forced to type using a dictation app (so please excuse any Type O’s and things I oughta correct) and I’m reduced to getting my news from the radio and podcasts, but I’m not sure that what I’m hearing is any more reliable.
Having recently recovered from a hardy tack after I got my electricity bill, I keep hearing about the Lou Ming energy crisis and I’m wondering who the hell is Lou Ming and why is his bill more important than mine?
Yesterday I’m sure I heard some Russian guy called Vladimir, put in a call to nuke rain and I was left wondering, is there a big drought over there that hasn’t been mentioned in the whether reports?
I’ve been following an Australia health podcaster (who I think is called the Can Guru) who says the devil is in the tail when it comes to dieting and apparently we all need to exorcise more but I find it just makes my head spin, not to mention my nether region.
I don’t know what to make of a story I heard about Trump running again (from the look of him he’s never run in his life) but maybe it was about him having the runs because apparently he might still go to jail for hoarding after the FBI found far too much paper in his bathroom.
But the last straw for me was some preacher saying we spend too much time contemplating our navels and I was left wondering what thinking about ships or oranges has got to do with the coming rapster.
Haha! Very good. I sure hope what you may or may not of heard about Trump getting the runs in jail was true.

Ha, ha. That was hilarious, so many word puzzles within a puzzle. My favorite is “oughta correct”, because it oughta but never does.

[You better hope Trump doesn’t find a way to charge rent for all the real-estate he owns in your head though. 😉 )

Thanks, Susan. Believe me, the only real estate Trump has in my life is a room that rents by the hour for as long as it takes to make fun of him. and his followers. 😉

Good point about hearing: “I’m not sure that what I’m hearing is any more reliable”. At least with eyesight I know the problem is with my eyes, but given image editing tools I’m not so sure about that either.
