I love the concept of this. To me it shows total independence and you didn't need any help to get here. Dave

Thank you so much David! I can't judge myself, but I have been giggling ever since I wrote this, so I think I am at least hilarious ;), xomo!

These are the best two stand alone lines which I've read in a long time, Mo!! Perhaps I should have said three, cos the title definitely plays a big part in all this. ~ Best regards // paul

Interesting work. I wonder if you are talking about Adam and Eve or food? Apples can be good part of a healthy diet and they are low in calories, high in fiber, and just plain good. Alas though Eve ate the apple that she was not suppose to eat or was the fruit on the tree in the middle of the garden really metaphoric language? Sara Thanks for dropping by my page.

I am talking about Adam and Eve, in a feminist sense. I read recently that you would need to eat 25 apples today to achieve the nutritional value of one apple grown 40 years ago due to our agricultural practices. It's expensive, but I try to shop organic. Warm hugs, mo

I love ribs :). One of the distressing things thing about the current situation is the shut down of Farmers Markets. We go for many reasons but the apples they sell are orders of magnitude better than those in grocery stores.

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart

June 6, 2020 at 8:13 PM

Lol! Yeah, I'm missing the farmers market too. Hopefully they'll be back up and running in time for my favourite apples, the russets, they're a later harvest.

hahaha. I LOVE this. I have heard of women who have a rib removed to get that great waist line that some women like me do not have (my waist does not go in nearly as much as I wish it would). Raquel welsh had hers removed. Oh, to be rich and get things done!!

It is CRAZY the lengths we will go to to fit some ideal. I love how corsets look but hate anything restricting. Of course, if I was rich, I don't know that I wouldn't get some nice butt implants ;), I worked hard to accept myself, with a mother telling me I needed to wear makeup, that I wouldn't find a man if I didn't shave, lose weight, stop eating so much garlic. Lol. xomo!

So witty and wise, I will think about this the next I have a plate of barbeque ribs :)

Mmmmm ribs. ~x

Got a BIG smile on my face now!!! Thanks Pigeon Tart. More succinct, as is always your way, then a statement I had read years ago, "I didn't come from your rib, but you did come out of my vagina." Lol

Holy HUGS back to YOU you Mmmm. Thanks

Look at you making my day! Hello my friend! I hope you are keeping well... during these crazy times. I painted a big heart with a 1 in it, with "one love!" on my front door. Hugs you! xomo

Tee hee! I almost peed myself when I thought of it. xomo! ;)))

This is too funny and poignant at the same time. On so many levels with so few words it says reams. Excellent social commentary and excellent brevity.

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart

June 2, 2020 at 10:52 AM

Thank you for the thorough read! I know I have a tendency to leave my writes open to as shallow or as deep an interpretation a reader may feel comfortable with. Less is mo ;), Warm hugs Greg, and stay well and safe. xomo

Another "hisssssssssstory" lesson. Have you become an Apple Tart?

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart

Still cherry (they're both roses though) ~xomo!

Is she still attracted to the forbidden fruit? (By the way, the GUY who called U a tart, needs to be reported to PS. Forgive but enforced the code we did not frame) shalom Mo shalOm

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart

June 1, 2020 at 6:44 AM

She IS the forbidden fruit. I'm not worried about him, just turned over my cheeky cheek; he overstepped and PS did step in. xo amMO

Ever since Eve took that rib from Adam, they've been paying for it. Very clever. Stay well my friend. If you're looking for poems for your podcast... may I suggest my poem 'The Turnip and the Cabbage?" Just a thought. It was the first poem I listed on the soup.

The only cast I've done is plaster, art and the art of bone breaking... show me your first and I'll show you mine ;), xomo!
