Today’s Ragtag Daily Prompt is Truck. Here in the US, the first meaning that comes to most of us for truck is a large motor vehicle used for hauling goods. Small ones “pick ups” to enormous tractor trailer rigs “18 wheelers” or “semis”. In Britain, at least some of those vehicles are known as lorries.
And then there are “hand trucks”, more commonly known to me as dollies, for transporting heavy stuff around, but propelled by an individual rather than a motor.
Truck farms. No, not where vehicles are grown, and not the same as a farm truck. Word order matters. Most often a smaller farm growing a variety of vegetables.
And truck, meaning to countenance. “I have no truck with that”.
To finish, in the language of my youth, “keep on truckin”.
Have a good weekend.
I’m not a Dead fan, (or a dead one so far) but I really love that song.

Likewise. I shared a house in college one year wth some deadheads, so I have a familiarity and appreciation for some of their songs.

I like “A Touch of Grey” — I didn’t until I was stuck in traffic once and heard all the lyrics…
I know the rent is in arrears, the dog has not been fed in years
It’s even worse than it appears, but it’s alright
Cow is giving kerosene, kid can’t read at seventeen
The words he knows are all obscene, but it’s alright

When I read your prompt this morning, the first thing that popped into my head was that song, and it has been there all day! Hence the writing road block!

Apologies for stimulating the ear worm. My prompt and the song didn’t enter until I was nearly done writing. Then duh!
