A silly story!

for Rochelle’s Friday Fictioneers photo prompt.

Let me read it to you!

What a wonderful breakfast menu.

     Too fancy for me, what are you having?

Spoppressata, spiced chickpeas and eggs… 

     I was hoping for porridge.

…or Swedish cinnamon-scented sticky buns… 

     What do writers have for breakfast? Synonym buns!

…or omuraisu rice omlettes…

     What do cows have? Moo-sli! 

…or  pea, prosciutto and pecorino frittata…  

     Why did the bacon laugh? The egg cracked a yolk!

…or  choc-chip piketets with caramelised pears. 

     What’s the best part of a waffle? The W ‘cause without it it’s awful!

I know what you’re having.

     What? 

Puncakes! 

     Wrong. Croissant au beurre viennoiseries à la confiture de fraises!

I’ll just have toast.

Try grabbing Froggie’s breakfast to join in the fun!

    That must have taken some time composing. Well done, Keith.

    I think I’d lose my appetite just trying to figure out what it all means 🙂

    Oh, yum! I’m glad I’m having a bit of oatmeal for supper anyway, or I’d have to make some.

    Dear Keith,

    My dad used to say that a pun is the lowest form of pastry. 😉 Love the breakfast wordplay with these cereal killers.

    Shalom,

    Rochelle

    I love your well-crafted nonsense Keith, always makes me laugh 😄❤️😄

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings September 17, 2023 / 14:20

      Thanks, Angela, I often hesitate before pressing the publish button just in case I’ve written something too silly!

      • poetisatinta's avatar poetisatinta September 17, 2023 / 20:24

        Nothing is too silly Keith 😊❤️

    A real tearjerker. I laughed so hard that I had to take a break in the middle. And the ending is just perfect. Where are my synonym buns?

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings September 17, 2023 / 14:26

      When I read your opening words, I wondered what I’d done! Thank goodness they were happy tears! Sorry, synonym buns are all gone.

  19. Michael B. Fishman's avatar Michael B. Fishman September 17, 2023 / 20:07

    Toast for me too, please, with a few more puns. Fun story!

  20. Margaret's avatar Margaret September 18, 2023 / 00:55

    Hilarious. I laughed all the way through this.

    Not a silly story at all – a very punny one. Thoroughly enjoyed it – thanks!
