An un-story!

 

This week’s words at The Sunday Whirl are – thistles horns stiff treat wee chirping fit down stick blushing out moment.

The moment I saw the prompt words a story entered my mind but it was somewhat…shall I say…risqué! Even I was blushing as my mischevious muse read it out to me. She’s worried that AI might make her redundant in the future, so she’s been taking quite a few risks of late. I decided to stick her on the naughty step and try writing down something unaided.

An hour later nothing was going on in the ‘ole brain box, so I thought I’d treat myself to a wee dram, there’s nothing like a stiff drink to get the mind moving! 

A deer stood mid the thistles, tickled by the thorns, chirping birds they whistled, whilst perched upon its horns….

No, I don’t think it’s fit for purpose, but at least I’ve gobbled up all the words while talking to you! 

‘Muse, come here will you?’

    That’s so funny Keith – that wee dram certainly oiled your cogs 😅
