A few words…

for Friday Fictioneers.

‘Climb aboard The Pink Lady’ called the captain.

‘Don’t mind if I do!’ chortled George eyeing up the girl in front wearing fuchsia shorts. 

‘Behave!’ said wifey Beryl bopping him on the arm.

 

The little pink ferry chug-chugged its way across the bay. 

 

‘Welcome to Paradise’ shouted the captain. ‘‘Enjoy the beach and marvel at the sights’.

‘I certainly shall’ guffawed Beryl, spotting a handsome chap in tight yellow Speedos.

‘Now-now!’ said George, pinching her nose.

 

Fushia Shorts and Yellow Speedos dashed towards each other and embraced.

‘Looks like we’re stuck with each other’ chuckled Beryl giving George a juicy peck on the cheek.

    One of the joys of old age: admiring the beauty of youth. 😉
    (Whoops! One minor typo, Keith, Look close.)

      Absolutely! I think we both spotted my typo at the same time – great minds and all that. My Grammarly app let me down, tut-tut!

    They wouldn’t have it any other way in the end! 🙂

    Dear Keith,

    One may be on a diet, but it doesn’t hurt to look at the menu, does it? 😉 Nor does one go blind when the ring slips on. 😉 😉 Cute story and Captain Froggy.

    Shalom,

    Rochelle

      I couldn’t put it better myself! Thanks so much, Rochelle.

      Hey! I was gonna say that!

    Much better that way. Fuschia Shorts and Yellow Speedo are probably a bit high maintenance.

      Baggy trousers and a flowery dress – far more sensible!

    No laws against window shopping. Yet.

    Sounds like they have a fun relationship!

    Aye, Keith, Morecambe was never like this!

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings January 9, 2020 / 16:03

      It does have a bay, but I guess the similarity ends there!

    Beryl and George seem very well suited!

  9. Russell's avatar Russell January 9, 2020 / 19:42

    Haha! Sounds like they’re having a great time!

    if anything, i think they deserve each other and i mean it in a nice way. 🙂

    I like these two, the teasing is good-natured and, as an old lady once said: when you don’t look anymore, you’re dead. Sweet story, Keith.

  12. Russell Gayer's avatar Russell Gayer January 9, 2020 / 21:34

    I can just see them, Keith. I love their sense of humor–and adventure.

  13. Brenda's Thoughts's avatar Brenda's Thoughts January 9, 2020 / 23:18

    Sweet story and love the humor between the two. Makes for a fun adventure through life together!

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings January 10, 2020 / 11:48

      Exactly, I doubt they are ever bored! Thanks Brenda.

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings January 10, 2020 / 11:46

      …one of my favourite artists, and yes, I can see what you mean!

    Lovely nostalgic story – everybody has fun, but everybody knows who they belong with. Aaaah, bless!
    Thank you for such a delightful start to my Friday, Keith!

    My goodness, the sight of yellow speedos and Beryl gets all excited. Fun read.

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings January 11, 2020 / 09:29

      Better make sure shes not watching when you are wearing yours James!

  16. Dale's avatar Dale January 10, 2020 / 18:12

    Sweet! And honestly, after all these years, why can’t they admire the youth around them 😉

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings January 11, 2020 / 09:30

      That was my excuse in my married days. I’m not married now!

      • Dale's avatar Dale January 11, 2020 / 15:47

        Buahaha… Admiring…not touching…

  17. msjadeli's avatar msjadeli January 10, 2020 / 21:35

    A charming and well-spun tale, Keith. Love froggie this week also <3
