Flash 55

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.

End of the Politican

Gandalf was having a lovely cup of Top Gear pressure tea, waiting for his favourite frozen tarts to thaw , and listening to the Badger Choir sing roll out the barrel when the smelly politician made the amazing but token gesture in the garden of the pixies. Irritated he turned him into a very ugly cow.

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.

Continue to rogitate that question
And send me into depression
My quite ruricolous life upset
Those things I should forget
My risible history on display
Feel like your chosen prey
Yes rimestock runics I believed
I was so easily deceived
Rubefacient effect on my face
You give no worldly grace
Go away from my place.
