Flash 55 Friday & Magpie 43
Whose Bright Idea, Was This? - December 3, 2010
Let's drive up to the lake house,
For a wintery holiday!
We'll start a roaring fire,
And, somehow, find our sleigh.
We'll make a hearty dinner,
And drink hot buttered rum,
We were pleased with our plan,
But now we're feeling glum.
When Ashley heard the growling bears,
She broke her leg on snowy stairs!

Yikes! I hope that's not a true story!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great punchline! Well, actually horrible news. But, it was a beautiful build up to the bad news.
ReplyDeleteDid Ashley break her leg? How bad the bears were.
ReplyDeletegotta watch those stairs. esp in the snow...
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it was the hot buttered rum that made Ashely slip on the stairs!! [kidding] Excellent 55.
ReplyDeleteMy 55 is posted!! Here is the link for you.
Trust the bears to put the mockers on things :)
ReplyDeleteAah..poor Ashley..a snowy stair can do just that :-)
ReplyDelete:-) We have bears and slippery stairs but so far I've only fallen on my bum. A broken anything is not good.
ReplyDeletehot buttered rum?
ReplyDeleteand ouch for ashley.

ReplyDeleteIt was all sounding so great. In fact it was wonderful and then ouch, I hope this was just a cool piece of fiction and that Ashley did not really break a leg.

Bears are particularly threatening - they should be hibernating. :) Very nice 55 and Magpie!
ReplyDeleteOuch! I hope this is fiction!
ReplyDeleteUh ohhh... I sincerely this story is just cooked up for writes! Cuz bears!! Nooooooooooooooo!!! Why can't they just be happy with fish and honey or something!
ReplyDeleteOh.. but I so loved your rhymes!! Could almost sing 'em out..
Leave Ashley at home next time! Why? Because when you go to the everglades it wlll aligators on the escalators or adders on the ladders. Ashley has bad karma! :-)
