Bugger, work is really getting in the way of blogging, about the only thing I have time to do right now is the wonderful Friday Fictioneers set like a fun test by the wonderful Rochelle I really don’t know what I’d do if I didn’t have the FF to do. This slump I’m in could probably be permanent but I feel if I didn’t do this then not only would I let myself down, I’d let the whole class down.
This week the irrepressible Dale Rogerson has provided a wonderful picture, which, in fairness, I have been mulling over since Wednesday morning Shrawley time, and getting ants in my pants over what the hell I’m going to write. Well fear not Oh Freaky Fabulous Friday Fictioneers Folk, Shrawley has an idea…
So without further ado, I will get my shit together.
On my marks…
Get set…
GO!!!
Similar to Obelix falling into the vat of magic potion, Incy Wincy Spider was never the same after sampling the pie given to him by his friend Simple Simon.
The Pusher Pieman, had Simon down as a dealer and perpetually skint Simon jumped at the chance of tripping for free at the fair with his best mate Incy.
Incy never returned to “Earth” from the Acid Pie, spending his days envisioning extraordinarily daedal, humongous luminescent lattice web structures; Spider Simon shows folk around.
At nightfall Incy shuns the Hullabaloo of the Filigree and scuttles back up his water spout.
There we are folks, another one of our favourite children characters’ reputations crushed before our very eyes, and all in 100 words, well I never!!
Hope you enjoy.
Ha ha – I just love your nursery rhyme inspired stories!

Dear Shrawley,
Is acid pie anything like acid rain? That would certainly have me going back up the water spout. 😉 And another nursery rhyme bites the dust. Who’s next? Love it.
Shalom,
Rochelle

Acid pie is a lsd spiked pie from the pieman, a ruthless drug lord enticing simple folk like Simon to take and then sell for him!! Like you say our youth lying in ashes!

A sad end for some of our childhood favourites. Simple Simon pushing acid pies for the Pieman… 🙂 Gotta feel sorry for poor Incy Wincy though!

Your stories get better and better! I really like the way the Ferris wheel triggered thoughts of Incy Wincy.

Thanks, I try my best. I’ve been asked what the ministry is of late. My latest post reveals it as a predatory cult, I hope people believe and or join!!!
