The Tale of Rosy and her Posy
There was an old girl called Rosy Who happened to be quite blowsy Weathered skin and crazy hair But she really didn't care Her embraces were always quite cosy
Then entered a woman named Josie Who seduced Rosy with a posy The noises that were heard From the house were absurd The neighbours couldn't help but be nosy!
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “adverb.” Start your post with any adverb and just run with it. Have fun!
Normally, I get an idea straight away for my #SoCS post, but I was clearly stumped this week!
But since I have obviously managed to start the post with an adverb, and I shall liberally scatter random adverbs within my ramble, I can breathe a sigh of relief and move onto something totally unrelated to adverbs…
I need to share a song with you. Or rather, I need to share the video at least. We had a trying couple of days at nursery, as there are a handful of lovely children who have behaviour that is extremely hard to manage, and one dear child drove one of my wonderful team to tears…
I usually find silly songs to play to my class at circle time, or whilst they are waiting for the whole group to congregate on the carpet, and on Thursday, whilst one finished, another started… and the song, or rather the extremely camp main dancer on the video, made us laugh so much, I played it a good few times over the last two days. It is now my official earworm, and I want to do the moves as I sing it, every time!
So, I give to you…. The Wishy Washy Washer Woman!
Enjoy your earworm!!
I hope you’ll appreciate that I am now listening to it as I type this, and it will stay in my head for the WHOLE WEEKEND now!!!

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “rib.” Use it as a word, or find a word with “rib”in it. As always, use any way you’d like. Enjoy!
I started thinking about this… and what came to mind was Adam and Eve.
So, apparently Eve, aka Woman, was created from one of Adam’s ribs… thereby making her a suitable helper for Man…
But if you dig deeper there are quotes in the bible that suggest that it was not just his rib, but possibly more than a bone, maybe a side of Adam, that was used to create Eve.
So, not a suitable helper as such but really an equal companion that would conmplete Man
Woman was created to be “beside” man, not beneath or above him. In salvation, man is no more “worthy” and woman is no less a citizen of God’s kingdom. “There is neither . . . male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus”
Wikipedia
I like that thought. It has been in my mind since I wrote a flash yesterday about gender at birth, and the so called importance of a male baby within our Indian communities, and others out there.
Why? Why is that dangly genitalia so important?
It’s us women you need to actually create men nowadays. God isn’t doing his Garden of Eden magic nowadays.
Our Sikh first Guru, Guru Nanak says:
“We are born of woman, we are conceived in the womb of woman, we are engaged and married to woman. We make friendship with woman and the lineage continued because of woman. When one woman dies, we take another one, we are bound with the world through woman. Why should we talk ill of her, who gives birth to kings? The woman is born from woman; there is none without her. Only the One True Lord is without woman”
Guru Nanak
Sure, a male was meant to continue the family name, ensuring that the bloodline carried forth for more generations, but doesn’t a daughters offspring do the same, bloodline wise, anyway?
Male or female, hair shorne or tied with ribbons, breasts or dangly bits, we are equal. We were made to be equal, whether Christian, Sikh, Muslim, Jewish… any religion.
Ain’t that the truth?
Boys and girls Girls and boys Essentially the same Though given different toys
Male and female Female and male Yet still inequalities A very old tale
Him and her Her and him Together complete Not made on a whim
A partnership On equal ground As God intended Though not what's found
Differences only To strengthen and support Not useless foetuses That some choose to abort
Man and woman Woman and man We should stand together That was God's plan
But I Smile Anyway...
