Flass 55-Terror

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.

With a nod to Raven and Quilly
( This week's Raven's words were really, wonderful.-19 words out of the 55) They are -- Incensed, sidewinder, bogus, conniption, Haz-mat, conniving, customize, perforated, zeal, rolling off a log, abstemious, chlorophyll, origami, cheerleader, dung beetle

Bogus Terror

Abstemious eater Joseph Has-Mat was incensed, having a cheerleader like conniption with much zeal . He had by careful conniving purchased a customized sidewinder dung beetle missile .The promise that it would be as easy to use as rolling off a log was bogus.It couldn't have perforated the smallest origami, yet alone a chlorophyll tank.

And Now for something completely different. And we mean completely different.
First there is poetry- written well by a few experts. You know it when you see it.

Then there is poetic drivel- written by many. Lots of fun and often punny.

Then below them all is quivel.
The following is quivel.
It in no way even pretends to be poetry or drivel.
Instead it is something that looks like a poem, uses at least three of Quilly’s words.
In this case it is also a flash 55 quivel since it has eleven lines with exactly five words to a line. Please, again, note this is a quivel it does not pretend to be a poem or even poetic drivel.

Daddy's Little Boy

His xenization period was short
Because of his dad’s support
His pigritude was then ignored
By members of the Board
A maleolent action they say
Certainly in the area gray
His action deserved a summotion
They gave him a promotion
A CEO he then became
His performance then so lame
He got paid the same

  1. I hope the wannabe terrorist paid a pretty load of pennies for his worthless bomb. Serves him right.

    And I see that even dragons know ineptitude is often rewarded with promotion rather than dismissal. If "Daddy's Boy" can't be fired, then rise him to a level where he can no longer inhibit those who are getting the work done.
