A hundred words …

for Friday Fictioneers

.

snow-blue

 

He’s gone.

Who’s gone?

My snowman.

Where was he?

On that chair.

Snowbody there now!

Don’t joke, this is serious.

Okay, we’ll look for him. Describe.

Carrot nose…

Did he pick it himself?

Listen! Coal for a mouth and wearing my scarf.

Icecap on his head?

I’ll ignore that.

He’s gone to McDonald’s for an iceberger!

Stop it.

With chilly sauce!

Grrrr!

Brrrr more like!

Look, footprints, they’re his.

There’s some snowballs, he’s fallen apart!

Not funny. Nooo, a puddle with my scarf in it.

He had a meltdown, should have taken a chill pill!

Don’t laugh, my scarf’s soaking wet!

      Further laughter just followed after my earlier comment. I just got the one about the carrot “picking” his nose, LOL

    Delightful dialogue… but I fear the pun police are on their way. Hide that puddle!

    Haha!

    I like those responses: “Snowbody there now!” and especially “He had a meltdown, should have taken a chill pill!”

    That must take a prize for the most snow puns in 100 words! Enjoyable stuff 🙂

    I like how you are able to take the most mundane photo and turn it into a comedy skit. Well-done, Keith!

      I find being silly easier than being deep and meaningful! Thanks, Lisa.

        You’re welcome! It takes a knack that you have.

    Very good, still laughing. I’m sure he’ll be back next year, and with one look into those doe like pebble eyes your heart will melt.

    Heehee – you had me giggling, Keith, especially with, ‘Carrot nose… Did he pick it himself?’

    Dear Keith,

    A blizzard’s worth of pun. You made me laugh.

    Shalom,

      Probably not what you had in mind when you sent Rochelle the picture, so I’m chuffed you enjoyed it!

      • Dale's avatar Dale April 17, 2022 / 13:50

        Sent? Oh, that is not how it works with her and me 😉
        She sees, she asks or more like, she informs!!
        But yes. I did!

    😂 😂 😂 Are you sure you aren’t a comedic actor? As you read your tale
    I was laughing all the way. Your expressive voice in this one was perfect.
    “Chill Pill” … to funny, Keith.
    Have a good weekend … Isadora 😎

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings April 17, 2022 / 11:41

      I’m not but it was really nice of you to suggest I might be! I’m really pleased you enjoyed it, Isadora.

      • Inside the Mind of Isadora's avatar Inside the Mind of Isadora April 19, 2022 / 14:56

        Obviously, you have a great sense of humor, Keith. Keep those smiles coming. 👍🏻 😎

    It happened to another snowman I know. It must be a snowdemic! Someone get an ice-age set or something!

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings April 17, 2022 / 11:56

      A snowdemic’s snow joke! Were not over the last demic yet!

      • Na'ama Yehuda's avatar Na'ama Yehuda April 17, 2022 / 16:02

        Yeah. Demics are all over the place … 😉

    Very funny. I love it. And I want a few of those chill pills – I can feel a meltdown coming on any day now.

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings April 17, 2022 / 13:45

      Available at a snowstore near you! Thanks, Margaret,

    Cutely hilarious, Keith.

    I am missing Rosey, sorely. Please bring her back.

    Meanwhile that’s quite a spiffy, sweet mast head.

    Have a fun week, my friend.

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings April 18, 2022 / 17:21

      Don’t worry, Rosey is never far away and she’ll soon be back, I promise!

      I designed my header with Ukraine in mind, hence the colours and message. We can but hope.

      Thanks so much, Natasha.

    Okay, there were some really good offerings this week, but this one has a special place in my heart – so freaking clever!

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings April 18, 2022 / 17:25

      Oh, that’s made my day! Thank you SO much, Patricia.
