Susan, at Stoney River has a micro-fiction challenge where you mustwrite a short story in 140 characters or less. (Is this a Twitter thing?).
Anyway, today's prompt was a photo of a goat (above).
140 characters just cries out for a limerick.
A goat who answered to Billy,
Lived in a field that was flat, not hilly.
To survey his estate
He climbed on a crate ,
Unaware that he really looked silly.

ReplyDeleteDan
is that counting the spaces and commas, too?
ReplyDeleteperhaps set the goat free and see what it can do.
if it can dance, all the better
more MUSIC and less of the letter.
baa-aa-aa, uh oh, it chewd Aunt Marth'a hat feather. SHOO!
Oh this one was such fun reading
ReplyDeleteBoneman: The rules said 140 characters. I don't take the spaces to be characters.
