Thanks Rochelle for hosting this weekly riot of scribbling, you can almost hear the 100 or so community racking their brains as to how the photo, this week provided by Sandra Crook, can be embedded into this wonderful little pocket of WordPress. I salute you all, as the cogs and gears in my head start to turn, I think they may need a good oiling!
Georgie Porgy had not been seen since attempting an amorous embrace with two of the female contestants at the Crackington Village “Come Dine With Me”, making them cry.
His obsession of kissing the girls, any girls, had made it too distracting for him to hold down a steady job, thus he lived with his Mum.
Years spent running away from the boys at playtime led awkward loner Georgie to the beachfront cafe; for a pie and pudding, where he would exchange pleasantries with the agoraphobic girl who sold shells from a table in the corner.
This Friday he didn’t show.
100 words on the nose.
God I found this one really tough for some reason, I think I’ve been thinking about my half year review with a boss who has an appaling manner, it took over for a bit but do not worry It’ll all be forgotten tomorrow! Hope you enjoy.

Dear Shrawley,
I find myself looking forward to your stories every week wondering which nursery rhyme character will be lampooned by your magic pen. Love it. Hope things are better for you tomorrow.
Shalom,
Rochelle

I feel your pain there, Shrawley. My last boss was a witch with a capital B. Going to work toward the end brought on anxiety attacks. Yesterday marks three years to the day that I walked out of that place for the last time.

Happy anniversary! I still love what I do, but don’t like the way we are treated, the whole of our team. He discriminates positively and negatively in a random fashion, don’t know what he’s going to do next!

Work shmurk. Murray Lachlan young said that if you are writing you should see your writing as job A, your proper job should be job B who’s aim is to pay for you to carry on with job A. If thinks work out then job B can be dropped!
I’ve been feeling this way for a while

Thanks, the point is to remind of the rhymes and then see what they are up to now, their back story if you like

I have to admit, I’m kinda glad you stayed away from “She sells seashells by the seashore…
This was another wonderful rehash!

Thanks, that was the plan, too predictable. You know that’s about the British fossil hunter, she sold fossils not sea shells

Did you like the reference to she sells sea shells on the sea shore? She’s agoraphobic so has to sell them from a table in the shop.
