iPad Notes App
I can hear you now, how can a senior citizen derive enjoyment from Notes on the iPad? I find that my creative juices flow better if I am sitting in my big boy recliner with my feet up and my iPad sitting on my stomach. So when I’m feeling like I want to generate something that might be worth sharing, I turn on the iPad and begin to write.
It might be a short story, a poem, or just rambling. It is enjoyable and I do share it with my friends and family. One example is as follows:
Mary had a little lamb. It’s fleas were black as coal.
Everywhere that Mary went, the lamb was scratching so.
He followed her to school one day,
and picked up a few ticks on the way.
The lamb said “Mary please help me scratch” ,
but Mary just lit a big red match.
She lit lambkins wool coat and grabbed a hammer.
Every time a blood sucker jumped off the lamb, she hit it like a jammer.
Soon all the wool and thus all the varmets were gone from her mass.
Lambkins , who was still smokin , looked at Mary and said with sass,
‘Mary I’ll never ask you for help again. You can kiss my smokin ass.’Wrote this for you Buffy
Occasionally, I post one of my iPad Notes true short stories on FaceBook to increase the distribution. A lot of people say they got a kick out of the story.
Short Story 1. The Snake
In early December of 2010 about 10:30 PM on a cold Tuesday night, I was watching “Human Target” on the big screen TV in the den. Pam had gone to the bedroom to prepare for her bath and I could hear the bath water running. The water stopped and it was very quiet for a while. Then after a while, I heard a long series of the most violent screams that I had ever heard. I thought wildly, as I struggled to get my old wrinkled butt up from the chair, that something had gotten hold of Pam and was ripping her apart. I moved as fast as I could toward the bathroom as the screams continued. I finally arrived and saw Pam standing on the closed commode dripping sudsy water on the floor and I blurted out “what the heck is wrong with you.” She was trebling and finally said “Snnn…Snnnn…Snnnn….Snake in the bathtub with me. I think he bit me!”
I could tell she was scared to death so I walked over to the tub and looked and there was indeed a snake swimming in the sudsy water. So I proceeded to inspect every square inch of the sudsy butt and legs and I could not find even the smallest tooth or fang mark on the large hind quarter. So I told her I thought she would be OK. Then I proceeded to capture and inspect the snake. I found it to be a copper bellied water snake. I believe it must have crawled up the drain into the tub. It was an exciting night.
In an earlier blog post,I inserted a poem titled “My Christmas Poem” which was created on iPad Notes. This is a fun way to spent some of your golden age while taking it easy in your recliner. Get an iPad and join the fun.
Thanks for reading iPad Notes App.
