The Muse # 52
This week Shay at Fireblossom has set us a rather fascinating prompt.
My dear, you really are an obsessional exhibitionist, and you actually believe they will think we are doing a crossword?
You are almost as delusional as me if you think they will buy that.
Stop saying, "Let's see . . . One Across. Who is wearing the trousers? . . . and Six Down. Man made material tights are made from?"
Stop saying, "Let's see . . . One Across. Who is wearing the trousers? . . . and Six Down. Man made material tights are made from?"
I told you right at the beginning this would get tongues wagging. Am I right? . . . or am I right?
Just listen to them. It's so embarrassing!
The very idea of it . . . . indeed!!!
Ok . . . ok . . . ok . . . You talked me into it and I agreed to go along with it so I must bear the consequences, I suppose.
Well, as for me, I'm keeping my options open and I expect you to do the same.
Boy, my leg is numb, can we change legs to give mine a rest?
It's about time you had a turn.
What do you think they will make of it, honey?
I'm of two minds.
On the one hand I think we should go to the pub and get legless, don't you?
or
Staying here like this is a bit of a tease for them,
They are all thinking, "Is it a boy or is it a girl?" . . .
or, well,
"The mind boggles!"
or, well,
"The mind boggles!"
Shall we keep them guessing a little longer?
They are bound to be wrong whatever they decide, but listen,
we can't stay like this for ever or neither of us will have a leg to stand on . . .
. . . oh! and in the meantime, stop playing footsie with me!

Hi Eddie - clever take on the very 'interesting' pic! Fun ... and glad that link thing is fixed! Cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteThanks Hilary, it was rather challenging. And funny.
DeleteClever! I've just spent five minutes working out how those legs got in that position. Well, I needed something to do!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you survived the internet breakdown.
Thanks Val. We'll please fill me in. I can't work it out, unless of course it is just a lady.
DeleteClever and entertaining. How come my crossword puzzles are never this much fun?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Shay. We'll, they could be .. Lol
DeleteBrilliantly fun take on the prompt Eddie! Love it and the ending made me almost fall out of my chair with laughter!
ReplyDeleteThank you Carrie, It sort of developed like these things do. Can't say I have ever noticed anything like it on a park bench or bus stop seat, but you never know.
DeleteOthers have taken a much more sensible approach I see.
Glad I exercised your chuckle muscle. :)
You've made me giggle. Of two minds, indeed. What a fun exchange.
ReplyDeleteLol. Thank you Magaly. Glad you liked it. Where are the others? lol
