#Mastoprompt #grout 5/26

“#Spider, spider, spider,” Ajax screamed, pointing at one climbing the shower wall.

“It’s not bothering anyone. Besides, it eats the bugs,” Cleo said.

“I don’t care! It has eight legs and googly eyes.”

Very well. The things I do for love.”

Bam. Smash. Crash. Grout and tile flew everywhere.

“You missed it!” Ajax complained.

“Of course. WHY would I kill an innocent creature? I was just scaring it.”

“Because I asked you to.” A cute, innocent face accompanied Ajax’s plea.

“No! I’ll take it outside if you insist.”

“Yes, please,” Ajax pouted. — “But our shower?”

“Damn, blood-sucking slumlords. Cheap-ass shower.”

#Grout

Saying anything,
A social grout just to,
Fill the empty gaps.

prepared to move out
scrubbing until there’s no doubt
all that’s left is grout

#MastoPrompt Monday 26th May, 2025 : #grout

The genius driving the government (does it matter which?) is the embellishment of all they hold dear (money/assets/power) which is missing one essential ingredient.
The material that holds their mosaic in place, finishes the task and tidies everything whilst holding it all together.
The #grout
Not that waterproof mortar-like material, but the honest-to-goodness substance of the common person whose strength is to hold it all together - despite them!

Much like tiling grout
I'm a dense mixture set hard
Just not waterproof
