Cartographer Catastrophe

Give me the map!

I can see it just fine, don’t worry.

Give me the map!

Don’t get your knickers in a knot, we just take the next left.

Last time you said take the next left we ended up in that bizarre neighborhood! Everyone out on their porches just staring into space. . .it was like Zombieville. Now give me the map! We could surmount this problem if you let me install Google Maps in the dashboard.

I’m old school. I like having the map spread out before me. I like to see the whole picture. Now make the next left.

That’s the problem. Even with your reading glasses, you never see the whole picture. Hand over the map!

Our three words, using onomatopoeia are:

  • bark
  • chomp
  • giggle

He groomed him till the Irish Setter’s coat was gleaming. His behavior excellent during the competition with only one bark from the magnificent beast. The master thought he was a shoe in to win. The only real challenge was the Standard Poodle, who had won the three years before, but his age was showing.

The final pass through and as the judge smoothed her hands over the poodle, a sudden chomp was heard and the judge grabbed her finger in pain. The setter’s master stifled a giggle as he knew for sure his win was in!

FFFC#30

It’s okay, he thought to himself. I see the changes, I accept it. The white streaks, the forehead lines, the crinkled eyes, it’s all part of it. Time changes everyone. I should look at my reflection with pride of accomplishment, knowing most of the time I did my best.

The octogenarian donned his comfortable worn flannel pajamas, turned off the bedroom light and laid down once more to dream of brighter days gone by.

MLMM Sunday Writing Prompt

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

Pulling, pushing, pinching, primping

Jogging till your legs are limping

All to attract someone you see

But what does he really see of thee

The outside, beautiful may be

The inside is what should be seen.

Open a book with cover bright

Inside it may not delight

Work on your outside boast

But the inside is what matters most.
