A short story …

…for Rochelle’s Friday Fictioneers

     My, oh my, just look at my pie, a foot across, six inches high!

It looks amazing darling, well done. What’s inside?

     I knew it would impress, just have a guess!

Let me think, the smell doesn’t give much away. How about a clue?

     It may be meat, or something sweet, no matter what you’re in for a treat!

That’s no help!

     It’s something nice, tell you what, I’ll give you a slice!

Oh dear, I don’t really like it.

     Nor do I, it couldn’t be worse. It was worth a try, but I’ll stick to verse!

About your poetry darling….

    The pie may be a failure but the way it was presented is a winner 🙂

    Dear Keith,

    Some are natural bakers…some aren’t. Cute dialogue.

    Shalom,

    Rochelle

      …and some are natural poets…unfortunately she’s not! Thanks, Rochelle.

    Hehehe! The dialogue really captured the two characters, I think :). Great title!

    A lovely presented dish, perfect on a plate, and not the palate.

    Amusing exchange, Keith. She can’t win for losing, can she. I wonder what was in the pie…

      • msjadeli's avatar msjadeli May 26, 2024 / 18:22

        Cheers <3

    Fun dialogue. Great title. And the poems rhyme – that’s a good start. 🫤

    After this last sentence, there will be a pie in the eye. What a fun piece.

    I’m wondering wha fate has befallen the guinea pig…

      I confess to having eaten a guinea pig when I was in Peru!
