Ben by Daniel Shelton for July 06, 2023

Speedy grandma!

A comma in a coma?

A tiny dent in the malaria-carrying swarm.

A permanent red smear in her library book. A nice touch if it’s a murder mystery.

And, her Kindle bites the dust.

More than once, I’ve gotten one, not with the clapping hands, but with the sound concussion…

rotten thing to do to an innocent book

So that’s how those get into library books.

Another thing you can’t do with an e-reader

Ole Dead-eye.

Unfortunately, when those mosquitoes see me, I must have a “come and get it” sign over my head.

Yuck!

I thought she was not bothered by mosquitos… at least that is what she claimed when they were buzzing around Ben…

That’s also satisfying to do when a gnat is razzing you as you read!!!
