Someone once said ‘if they leave that car there much longer, it’ll take root!’. 

How right he was! When I popped back to visit some mates recently the old rust-bucket was sitting there as before, but with foliage and flowers sprouting from it – and before you ask, there weren’t any car-nations! 

It’s a shame it doesn’t work, because running on flower-power instead of petrol would make it the greenest machine on the road! What fumes there were, would be beautifully fragrant!

However I wouldn’t want to travel behind it, just thinking about it is bringing on my hay fever! 

Aaaachooo!

    Now there’s the thought those of us who don’t suffer would never have thought of… hay fever! That definitely would put the kybosh on such exploits! You never fail to delight, Keith.

      Actually, I don’t, it was a bit of authoristic (homemade word of the day) licence … aaaachooo!
      Serves me right for tempting fate!

    Clearly a seasonal mode of transport although the hay fever is the downside-typical how the eco-green solutions have disadvantages. Mostly, blooming expensive.

    I smiled at the thoughts. First horses, then automobiles, then flower-driven trucks. 🙂

    Dear Keith,

    As someone who suffers from hay fever (even thought they don’t refer to it as such anymore), this made me smile and sneeze and smile some more. Fun stuff.

    Shalom,

    Rochelle

    Fun artwork with nice flowerishes. Oh that such fuel sources with fragrant fumes could be developed. It would almost be worth the hay fever.

    Fun story. Love the car-nations. Not so much the hay fever. 😊

    Oh no!
    Not hay fever!
    For every positive there is a negative. Great story though. Bless you.

    It looks like all ideas need evaluating. Who knew, flowers would be
    just as problematic as petrol fumes. Great take on the prompt, Keith.
    Have a wonderful week, Isadora 😎
