MICROFICTION
PUSH-OVER!
I saw you push her in the drink!
So quick I didn't have time to blink!
No! It was you! I'm glad you came!
Now someone else can take the blame!

Seen in a Charity Shop
LABELLED 'LEMON'
Bric-a-brac and throw-aways no-one ever mentions,
No longer feel too sorry for themselves.
For they've been set-out tastefully, with artistic intentions,
Ready to grace other peoples' shelves.
All this lemon loveliness, seemingly respected,
Laid out on a table with good grace.
And even their own table-top hasn't been neglected!
See a cloth of decorative lace!
They thought they were discarded, to be thrown out in the bin,
Labelled with that awful 'second-hand',
But now they are co-ordinated, once more they can win!
For the second time in life they're feeling grand!

ReplyDeleteYou are so good with the MF's.

Ooh, a sneaky take on the Microfiction prompt, Brenda. The plot thickens!
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw your charity shop photo, I thought someone had given these lemons a lot of thought, too. Someone is sure to see a treasure in there.

ReplyDeleteI'm wondering why neither of them is trying to fish her out of the drink?

This reads like one of those intro pages in a delightfully macabre "Who Dunnit?", that you just know you're not going to be able to put down!
