One hundred words …

    for Friday Fictioneers

.

whiteffffffffff

 

So beautiful.

     What?

The floating eggs.

     You can’t make an omelette without breaking eggs.

Eh? 

     You can’t…

I heard you, but why say it?

     It just came into my head.

As I was saying, there’s quite a history behind Eggfest… 

     What’s the best day to eat eggs?

Now what are you…

     Fry-day! Get it?

Listen, will you? Today’s special because…

     What did the egg do when it saw the frying pan?

Oh, for goodness …

     No, it scrambled!

Stop being silly and LISTEN, did you know…

     Your trouble is you can’t take a yolk! Yolk, joke, hehe!

I give up!

        Hi Keith, sorry for the delay in responding, just life and stuff.
        Your kind comments are much appreciated, thank you.
        And I’m still writing, don’t be a stranger!
        Obviously right now I have no idea when I’ll be back in Scotland, but I normally spend some time in Deal at the beginning or end of my trip.
        If you send me a text or Whatsapp on 0033664223460 I’ll give you a shout and you can buy me oodles of beer!
        Cheers

    And the egg puns keep running. Delightful take on the prompt and exquisite frog rendering. You crack me up.

    Shalom,

    Rochelle

      Now you’ve started! The story took a few minutes and the frog a couple of hours, so I’m pleased you like him!

  28. granonine's avatar granonine April 24, 2021 / 17:02

    Keith, you’ve got me thinking of every egg pun and joke I’ve ever heard. Surprising how many there are.

    Why was the egg late for school?
    He didn’t study for the eggs-am.

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings April 24, 2021 / 22:09
