Oh dear!

,

.

.

What’s that? 

You may well ask.

I did.

Okay, it’s called my Long Thing.

I beg your pardon?

Long thing, you know, something that’s long.

It’s aptly named I’ll give you that, but what the blazes is it for?

I use it for transporting long things.

Like what?

Well it’s useful for carrying baguettes, they can be quite long.  

And?

Bamboo canes, my sausage dog, the wife when she’s sleepy, even trellis fencing at a stretch.

How fast does it go? 

From speedy to a snail’s pace, depending on its cargo.

Interesting.

Why don’t I give you a demonstration, on you hop.

Okay, do I sit up?

No, you lie down.

Head first or feet first?

I haven’t got a spare crash helmet so I suggest feet first. Ready?

Ready! 

Then off we go…..!

And off they went. 

I do write a load of nonsense sometimes! At least it wasn’t a long tale…unlike my cat’s tail, but that’s another story. Would you like to hear it? It’s very ameowsing! No? 

Please yourselves.

    ‘snail’s pace, depending on its cargo’ – absolutely inspired!

    You get a chapeau for that, mon p’tit!

    Very nicely done, and I do wonder what in the world kind of use this would actually be.

    Meowsing indeed. Very funny — even without the cat’s tail.

    Oh, my darling Keith! You had me laughing out loud! Your voice throughout was perfection. This is a great example of having fun with a prompt and entertaining your audience without getting all caught up in whether or not you’re writing the next great novel. Bravo!!

      Thanks so much, Nancy, I really do have fun writing this type of thing,I like to offer a bit of light relief here and there! One things for sure, I’ll never be a novelist!
