Shhhhhhhhh. Do not disturb! There's some magic around our house today...A Wee bit of Irish Magic.
While the little Irish dude, all dressed in green, was collecting and stashing diamonds and lucky coins, I spotted him taking a short rest from his toils. I captured him for luck!!! [Oh I'll release him soon enough, but for now, he's mine...all mine.]
This enchanted kingdom is brought to you by: The magically delicious----

FLASH FICTION 55
In a land of fantasy he approached the fair maiden,Alas! Damsel in distress.
Close now, he lifted his shining armor and spoke--
"Me thinks you could use my help m'lady"?
She looked up; smiled her toothless smile...
Ancient face, pocked skin, quite smelly...
Sweating, shaking and panting, he sudenly awakened...
'twas only a KNIGHTmare!!

ReplyDeleteHi Anni! LOVE your post today, and all your St. Patrick's Day decorations! I've been working on a few myself here, and then hope to decorate around the house more over the weekend!..

Hi Anni,
ReplyDeleteSo very nice to meet you. I like your Irish post. My heart pounds with excitement like the fair maiden in hopes one day t0 meet my Knight.
I love the Gulf of Mexico. I just moved from the gulf coast. I lived by South Padre Island for over 40 years. I grew-up spending summers at the island. My father loved the gulf, so when he passed away he asked for his ashes to be sent to sea. He is my Knight!
Yoli :)
Ooooh, a groaner, as I've seen these called. A big groaner indeed. :)
