Friday Flash Fiction 20th. April

Any speculation, story, poem, recipe, memoir or song delights the G-Man as long as it is expressed in 55 words.

Has Anyone Told Charles Darwin?



Horses did not evolve to be house pets. They cannot get upstairs. To do so their forelegs would need to be shorter than their hind legs. But to get downstairs their hind legs should be shorter. Sadly, horses' legs are all the same length. Nevertheless horses are useful when you can't find your step-ladder and need to change a light bulb.

    True, so true but hang on both of my legs are the same length and I can climb up and down.

    Doc, it's enough to make a horse laugh!

      Should have mentioned, if you click on the pink, highlighted words in my original comment, you can find out why the horse was laughing...or do I mean, why I was laughing at the horse?

    Ha ha - well of course, I always run out and catch a wild pony when the light bulb blows!

    How many horses does it take to change a light bulb? Only one if you can get it to hold still and quit horsing around!

      Now see your comma there, Cad? There's a lesson for bloggers who think punctuation is a middle-class affectation that can be dispensed with willy-nilly.

      Just think, I could have written 'Stop horsing around willy-nilly', and incurred displeasure from purists...

    That solution would be OK if you've trained for the circus and own a tutu, otherwise it might be a bit dicey.

    Thank you SO much for joining the Word Verification revolution! It is a complete pain in the bum and when it appears I give up and don't bother to comment.

      Once again, the insertion of the comma is all important! LOL :) Doc will approve, I'm sure, as do I...

    So, THIS is where you hang out! Cool Dr FTSE.

    My Dad once brought one of his small horses into the house, one of the 1200 lbs ones. It was a very good cook, but did not do windows or change bulbs.

      Thank you, Jannie. This sort of thing can't be said often enough.

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?
