Flass 55 and Raven

With a nod to Raven and Quilly
( This week's Raven's words were horrible as usual)


Every week a nice lady named Raven gives us fifteen words and phrases to use in a story. Here we try to use those words and phrases in a flash 55. This week's words are: Green goddess, shampoo, filibuster, please and thank you, Operation Marigold, throw pillows, up the creek without a paddle, spandex, ubiquitous, wedding ring, Skittles, lamb chops, stingray, chagrin, clever devil

Thomas Stingray Skittles, clever devil ,ended up the creek without
a paddle when Operation Marigold failed the ubiquitous Green Goddess of spandex throw pillows
and wedding rings.
Thus without a please and thank you and no time for filibuster she turned him into lamb chops much to his chagrin.
Shampoo could not save him.


And Now for something completely different. A flash 55 quivel. Something that looks like a poem, uses at least three of Quilly’s words and has five words to a line for eleven lines. Click on the special words for definitions.

Ode to a Uxorious Husband

Forget her really great booty
And her trully isangelous beauty
Loving her is no duty
Quiddle away your special time
You glabrous piece of slime
As uxorious as you be
She will never love thee
Her heart belongs to another
Cheating now with your brother
She never did love you
She never has been true

Friday 55 Flash Fiction is brought to you by G-man (Mr Knowitall). The idea is you write a story in exactly 55 words. If you want to take part pop over and let G-man know when you've posted your 55.

  5. Combining FF55 and Raven's words is something I could easily see myself doing, but I'd have ended up sounding exactly like you.

  10. I think dragons should have the right to eat cheating spouses.

    And I LOVE your quivel. Nobody does it quite like you.
