Celebrate freedom. Happy Juneteenth.
It is Stream of Consciousness Saturday time again, and I was laying outback on the chaise lounge thinking of what kind of pasta to make for dinner. When the idea of an amatriciana sauce popped into my head, I was also hit in the same spot with a falling box. I had no idea where the box came from, but I suspect it was heaved over the back fence by a neighbor who received it by mistake. It only took a minute for the stars to clear and the sender’s name to become legable. None other than Linda Hill was the name in the left corner of the label. I ripped open the box with the help of my newly cleaned and polished teeth. Sure enough, the prompt was the only item in the box.
The prompt. “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “hat/het/hit/hot/hut.” Choose one, choose ’em all, put ’em in your post. Enjoy!”
If you would like to enjoy this prompt, visit Linda Hill’s blog and read how easy it is. Here is the link. https://lindaghill.com/2021/06/18/the-friday-reminder-and-prompt-for-socs-june-19-2021/
Hat/Het/Hit/Hot/Hut by John W. Howell © 2021
“What are you doing?”
“Trying to figure out the prompt today.”
“Oh yes, Saturday Hill time. What’s to figure out?”
“Het.”
“Het?”
“Het. What does it mean?”
“Look it up.”
“I can’t.”
“Why not?”
“Against the rules.”
“Cheat.”
“Will you keep it under your hat?”
“Maybe.”
“If not, I’ll get all het up.”
“Nicely done.”
“Well, will you?”
“Sure.”
“I put it in Google and got a hit on ‘het.'”
“What does it say?”
“Haven’t looked yet. Cheating makes my face hot.”
“For heaven’s sake. Who is going to know?”
“I’ll know.”
“So, what would be the consequence?”
“My mind would go into the hut of remorse.”
“Hut of remorse? Is there such a thing?”
“No, I made it up.”
“To finish up the prompt?”
“Clever, huh?”
“For one who is reluctant to cheat, you sure play fast with the rules.”
“Who’s post is this anyway?”
“Yours.”
“Right. I think my job is done here.”
“You want to go to the Brew Hut and hit on some hot tasting brewskis?”
“Let me get my hat. What about het?”
“Let’s leave him home.”

hat/het/hit/hot/hut building blocks for an alliteration poem. Het was added merely for the meter. Unless you use it in a military march poem. Happy Saturday.

When I first read the challenge for Saturday, I’m not gonna lie Boss. I didn’t know if you were going to be able to pull this one off. And of course, you pulled it off.
The Brew Hut sounds like something Peyton Manning would’ve thrown into his count when he was looking over the defense.

Very well done, John. “Het” is a word in Afrikaans. Hmmm! Maybe I should have joined in and written a post in Afrikaans, the practice would do me good.

That would have been fun, Robbie. In looking ‘het’ up I did find it meant ‘has’ in Afrikaans. Of course, I couldn’t use it since I had looked it up. 😁
