Welcome to another round of Microfiction Monday courtesy of Susan at Stony River. Each week Susan posts a new picture and invites us to write a story in 140 characters or less.
Today's picture:
Doris sighed as the two men argued. It looked like the old man hadn't given them a bum steer after all. He'd given them two!
I couldn't resist a second one:
Dr Suess wasn't entirely happy with the early draft of "The Cat as a Hat".
I look forward to reading all the other entries!
Hannalie couldn't help but feel jaded as she was being sold off for a hurd of cattle to a husband who would obviously prefered the intimate company of her father.
ReplyDeleteI LOVED your second one. Made me spit lemonade.
I like it. My thoughts went a different direction initially. The Dr. Seuss one was great.

Two gentlemen conversing, or are they arguing, as can't tell!
ReplyDeleteThe romans were a great worry back then, and respected the women, and did not want to soil their minds with prosession. But at the right time, a thousand were signed up, but he failed to mate it with a passion!
ANK U. SEE. Dolphins live in the sea, and communicate in one direction, put me in thee with an weak ant arial. Job eventually done.
Thank YOU. LOVE LOVE. HIGH.
Love the Dr. Seuss one! We live near Medicine Hat, Alberta. While we were house-hunting we lived in an apartment in "The Hat" as the locals call it, so our old cat... well, you know...
ReplyDeleteRecently, when I was away, my husband broke my "Cat in the Hat" coffee mug, and hasn't replaced it.
Sigh.
Said husband will definitely prefer your "bum steer" micro. He is an inveterate punster.

Terrific, as always, Dom. Both made me laugh, especially the second. :)
ReplyDeleteBoth of these are excellent and a witty start to the week! Also enjoyed your advent post.
ReplyDeleteCheers.
I couldn't keep my mind out of the gutter - I was thinking along the lines: "You have to kiss a lot of frogs to find a prince" and Zeus was known to hang-out in bull form. ;)
ReplyDeleteLovely!!! I like the cat in the hat best -literally! Take care

LOL Colene and Elaine - you should add a linky to Susan's list at Stony River ... they are great!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments guys! :D
Very funny! Both of them! Difficult to decide between them...probably Dr. Seuss!
ReplyDeleteAs always, well done! But the second one had me laughing until my sides hurt. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week!
The Cat as a Hat, it couldn't have been better than that! Great humour the second one.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed these. Silly but great fun! :O)

ReplyDeleteGlad you couldn't resist the second.
ReplyDeleteNice smile with my morning coffee!
Both were clever takes on the picture

ReplyDeleteOh, YES! I, too, am glad you couldn't resist the second one! I love it! But they're both great ones, Dom, as always! And what a fun start to my day! Hope your week goes well!

ReplyDeleteLoved the pun! But poor Doris! Alas, she's probably down for Cow Clean-up Detail, too! Don't get me wrong, who doesn't like pie? I'm just saying not the kind Deedee's going to have to deal with! (<--EW! Did I really just say that?!) LOL!

Cute! I love how people can look at a picture and come up with a totally different story to what others are thinking.
ReplyDeleteJai
I'm voting for the bum steer-good one!
ReplyDeleteBum steers get my vote, too...
ReplyDeleteThose are both very clever. I'm with the Seuss crowd as well. That is too funny.

That second one cracked me up! It is among my top three favorites this go round -- and there's been a lot of great stuff to choose from!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comments.
ReplyDeleteYou realise these were written on the hoof?!! Still no-one is beefing about them, though perhaps I shouldn't milk it too much!
wow, raw deal, two bum steers lol but in group of that size, couldn't that be within the margin of error?
ReplyDeleteperfectly clever!
ReplyDeleteA bum steer ? they both look soo sweet!
ReplyDeletefun! thanks for visiting-
the dr. suess one made me laugh out loud! thanks.
ReplyDeleteHa! Loved the second one. I'm glad you could not resist! :)
ReplyDeleteYes, the second one--definitely a winner! Both were great, but that second one was just perfect.
ReplyDeleteGood to have men fight over you once in a while.... :O)
