Brevity by Dan Thompson for August 19, 2023

Her weaving is little more than a series of frayed knots.

If it’s a rug, then who cares. If it’s a toga, then let’s see her try it on in the morning.

Odysseus will arrive in time to prevent Penelope from having to choose. Telemachus also on the scene aids his father in running off the rabble.

Who made all this stuff up?

quite a yarn

Huh?

Unweaving her hair?

She’s becoming a lowly seamstress…

sounds like a pretty seamy story…

Any fellow Margaret Atwood fans? If so I recommend a book I just finished, The Penelopiad

(snicker*)

Gossip of the gods.
