I’m a winner – well, almost.
The task was daunting, but I was fearless, determined, tenacious – well, fairly.
My foe surrounded me. I stared into their eyes, casting fear in their minds – well, I thought so.
Let battle commence!
I grabbed, tackled, fought to the end.
I triumphed – well, nearly.
John ate thirty sprouts, Sally twenty-two and me …. fourteen and a bit.
So I won – well, third prize!
Eating that many sprouts certainly deserves an award!
Bubble a squeak OK, otherwise no!
A brussels sprouts eating contest! Now I could go for that. 🙂
I’ll bear you in mind for next time Dora!
An excellent job, tackling those sprouts. After all, they bite back!
They sure do!
I’m standing well away from you, Keith!
Very wise. Things have become a bit volcanic down there.
Visiting again this week…
I enjoyed your battle! (And that’s about thirteen more than I’d have managed!)
Truthfully? Me too! Good to see you again.
Fourteen and a bit! Third prize or not ….Well done you! 😄
Enjoyed reading. Thanks for writing
I thought that was pretty good! Thanks for dropping by S.S.
:)👍
Dear Keith,
I could give them a run for their money. 😉 Where your mind goes never ceases to amaze me. 😀
Shalom,
Rochelle

Me too sometimes! I’ll put your name down for the next challenge Rochelle!
Though I haven’t eaten sprout before( I might have and just didn’t know it) , nor participated in a food contest, I say, congratulations 🎉 on your 🏆 win.
I hope your health is the better for it. 😊
Oh, you’d know it! Thanks so much.
I will know? Oh dear.
That doesn’t sound like fun.
But thanks for the warning. I will keep that in mind. 😊
And you are welcome. I enjoyed reading your seventy-three.
That was funny and I loved how tenacious you were LOL!
I’m not a quitter! Cheers, Tessa.
