This guy offered me a ride on his yacht. It was great. He shouted ‘duck’ but I couldn’t see one. Suddenly the boom swung round, knocking me overboard. The clot didn’t even notice I’d gone.
I swam to a little island. I paddled, built a sandcastle then realised I was marooned. What now?
I arranged some stones to spell the word HELP. It worked! A girl landed her paraglider. I jumped on her back, she ran along the shore and we shot skyward. What fun! Weeeee! I stretched out my arms like aeroplane wings.
Bad move. I fell back into the briny.
I swam to a little island…..

Catch the frog to join in the fun!
Ha ha. What a muppet 🙂 Fun!
Perfectly put! Cheers.
Funny! Pretty sure that would be me… lol!

What a fun story Keith. 🙂

Pleased you liked it Susan.
Perhaps another paraglider will stop by soon.. Great fun Keith
Or a mermaid perhaps? Cheers Iain.
i hope she comes back for another try. 🙂
I’d like to think so!
Heeheehee! Let’s hope she sent some help, it sounds like you needed it.
I hope so too! Cheers Mimi
Dear Keith,
What fun this was to read. Your MC must be a strong swimmer. Of course I love what you do with the frog. I find myself looking forward to your renderings of the little hoppy fellow. 😉
Shalom,
Rochelle
He’s a stronger swimmer than I’ll ever be! I’m spending longer with the frog than I am with my words lately! Thanks, Rochelle.
Ah, ha, ha. That was hilarious, Keith. 😀 — Suzanne
I’m so pleased you enjoyed it, Suzanne, thank you
Reblogged this on Musings on Life & Experience and commented:
Hilarious.
That’s so kind of you, thanks very much

I’m delighted you enjoyed it, thank you.
A fun story and quite the adventure. =)
Thanks so much Brenda
Now that was a fun ride… He might just, however, run out of options eventually…
He’ll be taking up residence there I suspect! Cheers Dale.
I suspect you are correct.
Let’s hope he learns from that mistake. Lots of fun, Keith.
I wouldn’t bank on it, Linda!
“Duck” hehe
He’s quackers!
Made me smile – thanks
I’m pleased! Thanks so much.
yay that must most certainly have been quite a really hep advienture
Certainly was…and probably still is! Cheers Larry.
haha. That was a fun read. What a misadventure.
Thanks so much
He’s like Wiley Coyote — comes back intact and ready again in the next scene. Lighthearted tale of a persistent, slow learner. lol
That hadn’t occurred to me! Cheers.
You’re welcome, Keith!
He is just not having a good day! 😀
…putting it mildly! Cheers Colline.
Fun take.
Thanks so much.
LOL. My favorite line is “He shouted ‘duck’ but I couldn’t see one”.
Haha! Thanks so much Deborah
Thanks for the early morning smile. I fear he hasn’t much future if he doesn’t figure out how life works.
Absolutely! Thanks Alicia
Thanks for putting a huge grin on my face, Keith 🙂
The pleasure is mine!
LOL! What a fun little story to read! (less fun to be the one in the – repeated – brine … but still. … ;))
🙂
Na’ama
I’m pleased you liked it, thanks so much.
Your story is my FAVORITE comedy this week! HILARIOUS and BRILLIANTLY WRITTEN! ha ha ha I’m still laughing!
Oh wow! Thanks so so much.
My wife and I were reading your story at the same time, and we both busted laughing out loud. My favorite part was the last sentence: “I swam to a little island…..”. It seems like I been there, ha.
Mike
I’m so pleased you both found it amusing! Thank you so much for your lovely comment.
Good fortune seem to desert you at the opportune time.
Indeed it does! Thanks Abhijit
