One hundred words …

Keith's Ramblings

On my way to my girl’s place, I walked past the flower truck as the guy was packing up. He offered me some cut-priced cut flowers. Being a romantic I could hardly say no. They were almost dead, but it’s the thought that counts.

“Thanks a bunch”, she said, she loves a pun!

“I really lilac you,” I said, “We’re blossom buddies, I love you a lily more each daisy, our tulips should kiss”.

We leaned towards each other, puckering up … then she sneezed in my face!  Wretched pollen.

Fortunately, she doesn’t mind dead flowers ‘cos she believes in reincarnation!

    They were almost dead, but it’s the thought that counts. Hmm…so what was the thought? A girl could infer that you always do romance “on the cheap.”

    Are you not the most clever and creative of the FF squares? Well done Sir Sunflower.
    Keith keeps us laughing, and for that we gratefully chuckle through the Daisies.

    Why do we laugh at puns? Because we love them, no matter how much we groan about them. Always a fun romp over here on this blog!

    Dear Keith,

    Not sure what this story stems from but I’d say you certainly rose to the occasion. I’m always happy to petal by your garden of punsies and punsettias. Delightful!

    Shalom,

    Rochelle

    A match made in heaven. There is something to said for wildflowers that dance in the wind of flexibility. Wonderful story, Keith.

    Being married to the master of dad jokes, puns are a standard issue in my house. Fun story!
