100 words…

…for Rochelle’s Friday Fictioneers photo prompt!

My pool’s seen a thing or too! Things it’d rather not have seen sometimes, like Bob in his budgie smugglers and Titianna topless. As for Ken’s mankini – no no no!

Me? I’m a sensible shorts kinda guy. Modesty is my best quality, I’m great at displaying modesty, almost certainly the most modest person in the world! Yeah!

I’m holding a pool party next weekend. There’ll be a clever dual-purpose floating barbecue that’ll both provide food and keep the bathers warm, it is November after all! Great idea, yes?

What do you mean, no? I wasn’t inviting you anyway, so there!

    Years ago we had a neighbor who must have weighed at least 300 pounds. He also had a pool and wore a speedo. Ugh!!!

    people often don’t make the best choice for the common good )

    I agree, sometimes swim wear choices are very close to embarrassing, I mean where do you look. A floating BBQ should keep the skimpy wearers out the water.

      I agree with everything you’ve said, cheers, James!

    Great story Keith. I am not sure I can picture the floating bbq how with the flames stay lit, I wonder. But there’s the point perhaps.

    I don’t swim, but I’ll be glad to sit by the pool and keep you company.

    There’s many a sight to be seen (and forgotten) by the side of the pool.

    There are sights we cannot unsee. Now what I would like to see is how this floating BBQ works 😉

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings November 11, 2024 / 16:24

      I’m working on it, I’ll let you know when I’ve worked it out!

      • Dale's avatar Dale November 11, 2024 / 16:30

    Haha. Very entertaining tale. I love “budgie smugglers!” That’s a new one for me.

    Dear Keith,

    The things I see at the beach these days are ‘interesting’ to say the least. I often wonder what people are thinking when they wear the things they do. Ah, well, it’s not my job to judge. Look away, look away, look away. The barbecue should be interesting. Fun stuff.

    Shalom,

    Rochelle
