Seventy-five words …

…for Sammi’s Weekend Writing Prompt where the given word is Preposterous, an odd word starting with pre meaning before, then post meaning after, and ending with erous meaning … I dread to think! Anyway, here goes!

I’ve had a brilliant idea, original, clever. I’ll do something preposterous! Great, eh?

But what, I wonder.

Jeans with ragged holes in them, little round electric things which chat with you, Henry the Eighth inventing fractions, nonsensical ideas but they worked!

They say 70% of people are stupid. Well I’m part of the other 40%. 

I’ve got it! It’s so preposterous even I believe it’s ridiculous, but I’ll prove myself wrong, just wait and see!
