Seventy-five words …

Jan 7, 2023Jan 7, 2023Keith's Ramblings

…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!
