Eyes
Rolled twice
About face
FORWARD MARCH, now
We don’t tolerate
That TYPE of behavior
Young lady, you know better
Than to lick all the chocolate
From the raisin and peanut candies
And then put them back in the covered dish

Her panties rippled
As the wind escaped her drawers
From the beans she ate

I found the ice cream
It was hidden in plain sight
And calling my name

Cooked half the carrots
They should have lasted all week
But then I ate one
The fork just kept on moving
Bugs ain’t got nothing on me

My response to Charli Mills, Carrot Ranch .99 word Flash Fiction challenge this week. We had to talk about paint in some form or fashion. Be sure to follow Carrot Ranch to be apprised of future challenges! https://carrotranch.com
Yes, this is a true story and why I kept going back for bi-weekly torture for over a decade is beyond me!
I had never had my nails done professionally. But since I was now a female business executive, who did a lot of public speaking, it was suggested that I spruce up the ends of my fingers.
The nail tech was chatty and did a great job! We chose a bright shade of deep pink polish and everything was perfect.
She admonished me to use the side of my finger to open my car door, lest I break the new nails.
Sheepishly, I walked back into the salon a few minutes later. Smiling, she said, “I’ve been waiting for you.”

Writers watch their friends
As they retire from work
With no hobbies planned
But a wordsmith considers
Retirement a hobby
