Shake, shake, shake it up, shake it out, shake it all around — what the hell? Not my strongest start. Let’s go again.

But now my brain’s stuck on the fact that there are hints of the Hokey Pokey song in there. Moving on.

And now I’ve got Taylor Swift’s Shake It Off scrolling through my brain but nope, no sir, no ma’am, I cannot do a post on Taylor Swift. What would I say? It’s not like Shake It Off was some sort of anthem for the time. Can’t fault her for a catchy bop, though, I gotta say.

What else? I guess there’s Shake and Bake. I remembered that being some great way to prepare chicken from back in the day but then I tried it again when I was grown and, well, it just didn’t seem that great. Cloudy memory brain I guess.

Y’all, I don’t think this post can be saved. Stream of consciousness demands I suck it up and schedule the thing. Ugh.

I know what Taylor would say.


Linda hosts Stream of Consciousness Saturday. This week’s prompt is “shake.” Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!
