Most entries are going to be E rated but some may go beyond that. |
You just want to read? These entries will be freshly written for a contest. Since I plan on joining many then I'm putting them all in a book. Sit back and enjoy it. I'll try to do a (poem) line count, (story) word count, prompt, and which contest I entered in. Though I won't be mentioning it in the piece, but "The Contest Challenge" will be a part of a contest I enter since it's about entering into a contest following its rules. Wish me luck! |
A long time ago I went to church as a young girl. One of the first songs to learn was Jesus Loves Me. Only I sang Jesus rules me instead for the first month. The other children laughed and made fun of me for my singing and the teacher constantly repeated Jesus loves me instead. I just couldn't figure it out since none of the other children were willing to correct me. When I read the words though it became clear I had misheard the song. I had to sing Jesus loves me instead of Jesus rules me. If only I had heard the words correctly and was able to sing it right. It would have saved being teased over such a simple song. Jesus does rule but that wasn't what the song was about. I consider this to be my most embarrassing time of my life. Who could misunderstand the lyrics of a simple song? Well, I am one of those people. I won't ever forget my most embarrassing moment of time. What could be ever more embarrassing? Prompt: Mondegreen most embarrassing moment Form: Prose story Word Count: 179 Contest: "Memorable Malaprops/Mondegreens Contest" |
