CLXXXXVa - Taken with Relish.

.

Susan, at Stoney River has a micro-fiction challenge where you must
write a short story in 140 characters or less. I failed the challenge,
assuming that I must count spaces, but liked the result anyway.
The prompt was the picture, above.


Taken with Relish

A woman, who loved to preserve,
Was known for her lack of reserve.
She would swap some pickle
For a slap and a tickle;
And thought foreplay was just a hors d'oeuvre.
