Baking Boondoggle
But, Blueberried Bliss!
Bailey battled burning batter,
Barely bringing back brutalized bruléed bananas.
Betty bested Bailey, boasting bewilderingly bittersweet breadfruit bars.
Bree bandaged Bailey's burned bicep by beautifully bending butterfly bandages.
-
Bess- burgeoning braggadocio! - brandished bungled Baklava,
But Brianna benefited by 'boosting' Bonnie's buttermilk brie!
Benjamin (buttoned-breathless-bookseller Benjamin!) believed better!
Benny bribed Brandy by blowing bioluminescent bubbles, backstabbing Ben!
-
Bebe busted Bryce broadcasting bicarbonate behind breadbaskets!
Brendan blamed Becky's bumbershoot blocking Bryce's bad behavior.
(Becky beckoning Bryce behind bookshelves? Belabored breathing begun!)
Backstage, ballistic Bradley barely beat beginner's backwardness.
-
Brutal baking boondoggles, biweekly baseless banality!
Blasted baking brigade- blatantly brittle bellowing buffoons-
Beware! Bypass Beverly, bright but biting, broad-backed Bev!
Batch by batch- baking blameless blueberry baguettes; Bev's beautiful bounty.

The Bird Nest
Downy tufts puff out, Warmth inside a house of hair, Drowsiness abounds. A/N: I sometimes imagine what it would be like to sleep in a bird nest, provided I can be bird-sized in the fantasy of course. I think it would be cosy! More longer stories to come! -TWW

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO ELLEN MARIE
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO ELLEN MARIE *** just had to know *** ++++++++++++ As Mike drove through the town he hadn’t seen in about twenty years, he wondered about those he’d left behind when he left for what he thought would be “greener pastures.” He wanted to make his mark on the world. Determination drove him and the little town of Meadowville wasn’t where he wanted to be.

Another winner! Go, Bev!
Well done Judey! Your poem reminds me of a song that we had to learn in music class at school back in the dinosaur era. Part of the lyrics were… Betty Botter bought some butter, but she said the butter’s bitter. If I put it in my batter it will make my batter bitter… “ It was a great tongue-twister that made us laugh as we kept speeding up the lyrics. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
Great stuff!
My favorites: Bailey battled burning batter, Barely bringing back brutalized bruléed bananas. Betty bested Bailey, boasting bewilderingly bittersweet breadfruit bars. Bree bandaged Bailey's burned bicep by beautifully bending butterfly bandages. 😊💕
Absolutely hysterical. "Top Chef" & "The Great British Bakeoff" meet Dick Dastardly in "Survivor". Wonderful back of the scenes romp where every line is a scene unto itself. Reminds me of the children's book, "The Eleventh Hour". I'm not sure why other than that every line within itself contains so much fun to unpack.
Beautiful job. Well done, indeed.
I think there are no B's left! Haha. Nice and incredibly well composed, but I will forever wonder how Baily got a burned bicep - Anneliese
