Signed and certified
The orange skidmark
Slides down the back
Of US underpants
Floods our shoes
And stains the news
We make a mockery
Of our democracy

Frustration and Persnickety: Expect Shenanigans

/ Liz H-H / Leave a comment

In which I combine two prompts that go really well together & try to find a kinder, more understanding perspective…
        January 5 – Prompt FRUSTRATION from Barbara
       January 7 – Prompt PERNICKETY/PERSNICKETY from Ritu

Okay, so I did write a response to the prompts (582 words. Ugh!), and succeeded in finding the humor and the humanity of the situation, so the prompts were great for introspection and humor. Many thanks, Barbara and Ritu!
But face it: we don’t really want to spend time reading a lot of whingeing, especially from me. So it remains in my word processor and not on my blog. Instead, enjoy my silly offering from the (sadly) now defunct Carrot Ranch, in which our task was to create variations and a story on “Once Upon a Time” in EXACTLY 99 words:

Hope I make you smile today!
