for Six Sentence Stories where the given word is Gear.
He always aspired to be a famous ventriloquist and longed to entertain the masses in theatres and on television.
In the meantime though, he made do with lugging his gear along to the local shopping centre where he’d stand with one hand up a feathery chicken’s bottom, and the other shielding his mouth.
He did get a ‘clucky’ break once when he was invited to perform on local radio which sounded like an easy gig given that no one would be able to see his lips moving!
However, he kept forgetting that he was supposed to talk up close to the microphone not the chicken, which meant the listeners didn’t hear a thing, and as a result he was never invited back.
Recently, after drinking one too many ‘gottles of gear’ he was cautioned for inappropriate behaviour having pinched a girl’s bum.
He blamed it on the chicken of course, but he didn’t get away with it, so he dumped the dummy and I’ve no idea what he’s doing now.

Thursday sees the start of the A-Z Challenge 2021. I will be posting a story every day except Sundays during April. I’ve chosen to write very short amusing pieces based on instruments and their musicians from Accordian to Zither!
LOL… too clever!
I’m pleased you like it Susan!
Now that, made me smile 😀 Well done, Keith!
I’m delighted, thanks so much.
Oh, dear. Well, i hope he found some work more suited to his talents, whatever they are.
I don’t think they were venting!
I’m with the others… a fun Six this week.
Thanks so much Clark!
Haha! I feel for this guy!
You have to admire a tryer!
That’s true.
I cackled out loud! good job
I could ask for nothing more! Thanks so much.
Ha ha! Nicely done, Keith. I’m still grinning 🙂
I’m pleased! Thanks Chris.
Poor guy. Probably on his uppers now; it’s either the chicken or the beg. Good one, Keith.
You’re probably right Doug! Cheers.
Very nice! I like how he even seemed to think when on the radio that the sound came from the chicken.
Yes, he wasn’t the brightest of blokes! Cheers.
That made me smile!
I hoped it might Jenne! Thanks so much

Excellent. His radio gig was surreal 😂 ‘Gottle of Gear’ priceless!
Couldn’t help think after about an old Tommy Cooper vent sketch I saw called “All at Sea”.
Fun Six 🙂
Thanks for reminding me, I’ve just watched it on YouTube and I’d forgotten how hilarious it was!
I watched it again too, so funny 😁
I notice, Keith, that you seem to be a bit of an expert on dummies.
Makes me wonder…
I did swap my wife for a manequin. Keeps me company and never answers back. Highly recommended.
