Are you over 18?

Tess at Willow Manor has trawled the www again, and come up with a picture prompt which you can see at Magpie#115 along with many worthwhile responses.  A skilled manipulator of images has doctored it for me here, as you see . . .



In his bath sat a webgeek called Brindle
downloading soft porn to his Kindle.
Has he never been told
as the water gets cold
he'll find that his interest will dwindle?

  1. I really like this one! Not a prompt to be taken seriously ( though many did!).

  2. Like Frances and me you went for the good old limerick, along with a few other Magpies. It does rather lend itself to the form and yours works nicely. You had his interests dwindling and I had him revealing his assets, so we were topical too :)

  3. Very funny ... a while back I heard that sales of Mills & Boon had rocketed as people no longer felt too embarrassed to read them on their kindles - now I will consider what else the kindle readers are flicking through on their morning commutes.

  8. A kindle in the bath
    might give one a laugh.
    but in bed at 4 a.m.
    it's certainly not glam
    when a note upon it's screen
    says 'The battery has been -
    and gone - nearly!

    Mock not, this is a true tale of woe!
    But what's it worth for me to top up your bath with hot water once in a while? LOL

  9. How funny! The first thing that popped into my brain was 'George and his shrinkage problem' on that epic Seinfeld episode!

Thank you for stopping by. To make life easier for you I have turned off the new indecipherable and time-wasting verification words. Would you care to "feedback" to Blogger and complain about them, like I did?
