FRIDAY FLASH 55 - FAITHFUL

Rhoda’s blue eyes brimmed. ‘ …and when I just have a visitor, your decrepit mongrel goes nuts. I’ve had it! He goes - or I do!'

After staying to the end with his boyhood companion, Mike drove to a secluded spot and sobbed.

Rhoda was phoning. ‘Tomorrow afternoon let’s make it here, Frank. Dog problems over.’

THEME THURSDAY EQUALS ... ?

=

An ‘equals’ symbol two lines show,

One is above and one below:

At showing ‘equal’, that’s a flop,

For one line’s always on the top!

ll

Equality might greater be

If lines had verticality?

But that is also not so bright -

One’s always left; the other right!

+

Should, then, a plus sign make the grade?

No, with success that can’t be laid;

For such opposing lines reflect,

Additionally, wrong effect!

x

‘X’ would then seem to be the best

To get equality addressed –

But still, with that, you’d lose the plot:

X multiplies to mark the spot!

SWAPPING SEXTENTSIONS – REALLY AWFULLY X-RATED!

You ever had a yen ter
Become the other gender,
And have some bits where formerly were none?
It could be quite impressive,
Conversely, though, depressive,
Those body parts designed for having fun;
A sudden superstructure,
Requiring DD-cup-ture,
Would need some quick adjustment of the stance;
Or, things that tend to dangle,
If caught up in the mangle,
Might overcome desires for romance;
And, if quite used to rising,
It could appear surprising
When nether parts remained right out of view,
While sudden new protrusion
Could really cause confusion,
And leave one not quite knowing what to do;
Then, getting monthly gut-ache
Could certainly not but make
One greatly disillusioned with that state;
Yet, having one’s midsection
With permanent projection
Could easily be something one might hate;
Though it might be exciting
At first, when over-nighting,
The pleasures of the change would quickly fade,
So earlier effusion
Would lead to disillusion -
Perhaps it’s best to stay as we were made!

Magpie Tales - A FEAT SOAK CLEVER

Beware of dangerous punning levels - you have been warned!

Warmly immersed;

Going with flow,

Day is rehearsed -

Toe-tally so!

' "This piggie went..."

Market, oh-ho!

"Home-time this spent" -

That's a no-no!

"This had roast beef"...

Meat's getting low;

"This none." Good grief,

Don't I just know!

Like my "wee-wees"

It's a no-show...

Soapless, one sees -

That to my woe!

Wish I could tap

Into the flow;

This sud-den crap -

Faucet to go!'

Friday Flash 55

Fifty-five words; but I include the title in my count:

-

DINE-NIAL

 'Usual table, M’sieur.  Madame joining you?'

 ‘Thanks, Armand,’ the distinguished-looking man nodded, and was seated.  In due course he rose to greet his guest. Armand fussed around pulling out the chair, pouring wine, and taking orders.

 Later another diner whispered, ‘He’s alone; why the pretence…?’

 Armand shrugged. ‘He cannot accept she died last year.’
