Brevity by Dan Thompson for August 14, 2021

they don’t slip so well through the long weeds, though.

Wouldn’t that make them soggy.

Straggly raggly hair on his chin

Battered and tattered and ugly as sin

Eagle-eyed and floppy-eared

He’s the man with the weird beard

Nearly broke my neck on one of those.

Too bad NBC cancelled plans for “Ultimate Slip ’n Slide”.

She seems to be impressed

… and interested – like “Will he ‘invite’ me to ‘share in the fun’?”

Sliders, like White Castle?

Always moist

Soggy buns, yuck.

♪♫ ya know the nearer your frustration the more they’re slip slidin’ away…
