TOUCH OF GREY

NEW PROMPT:
Today is my sister's birthday -- it's also the birthday of Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead.

In honor of those two momentous occasions , and because my sister was a huge Deadhead back in the day, today's prompt is to write a STORY or POEM that includes ALL of the following phrases (which are popular Grateful Dead song titles), bolded to make them easier for the Sunday judge to find them The only catch is, you cannot mention Jerry Garcia or the Grateful Dead in your item, or use them as song or other titles. Just use the song titles as parts of other sentences or phrases, but NOT as song titles. If you have any questions, email me directly.

Sugar Magnolia / Truckin'
Touch of Grey / Friend of the devil
Uncle John's band / Don't think twice, it's all right


We are six little cats and we worry about the happiness of our mom!
We've just moved in to a big ram'bling house; it's our daddy-cat's childhood home!
With a Sugar Magnolia tree in the yard and a Friend of the Devil for a dog,
These relatives give mom a Touch of Grey hair, but she just keeps Truckin' along!
We live in the shadow of our Uncle John's Band and we don't know where our life has gone,
but we'll try to be strong; mommy's best saying is Don't think twice, it's all right, come along!
