The power of positive inking is not complete. You forgot (dream on) LisaMay. :) I will rise my glass and host a toast as well as myself on your power of positive stinking. Here goes... that felt good, I'm positive. :) I can see that you're going nuts, LisaMay. Yet, I read the Headlines were NZ is going to show the world how to get rid of the virus. Find out and go help and thank you for your Power Of Positive Writing. Take care woman.
P. S. You know I'm playing with you, right? :)

    Haha... I raise a glass to you too. (I went nuts many years ago. Lockdown is just confirming it.)
    Nice to think I have someone to play with. Thank you!
    We are trying hard to eradicate the virus here. NZ is in the lucky position of having a small (mainly cooperative) population, no neighbouring borders - just water, and a caring government with a sane leader.

This piece, Playing with Positives, has definitely covered all the positives. Or has it:

The power of positive chinking-- a successful creation of chainmail armor.

The power of positive finking-- successfully selling out your friends to the authorities.

The power of positive kinking-- successfully ruining a rope or cable.

The power of positive minking-- delivering a skinned weasel fur to the one you love.

The power of positive oinking-- imitating a pig to the delight of all.

The power of positive rinking-- staying upright while rollerskating.

The power of positive tinking-- making newlyweds kiss repeatedly by making this sound with a knife and glass.

The power of positive zincking-- galvanizing one's metal pipes and intestines.

You have to be the most fascinating writer on this site, Lisa May, with all the ideas you come up with for wordplay. This was all funny, but the last verse, of course, was a bravura performance. The only thing you forgot was "The power of positive clinking" to toast the newlyweds.

Where Lisa's mind goes, nobody knows. This is another word game type clever post that I enjoyed reading. Your ability to play with words is outstanding. Marilyn

A very well-written commentary about positive thinking that can lead to many positivities if different kinds and it is remarkable that it doesn't lead to any negativities.

    Thank you so much for your wonderful review... reading it was a great way to start my day. I am sure screaming can have positive benefits, but i was keeping to words that end in '...inking'.

    I'm not much fun to be around... I've usually got my nose stuck in the computer, writing amazingly brilliant or imaginative or crazy things.

LisaMay, you are blessed. You are blessed with an imagination that creates fun things to read and keeps all the isolationists a little happier than they were before they read your penned gems. Thank you for sharing.
