I would be honoured indeed, Creeper Of The Realm

. As long as it's not viewed as jumping the start gun.

This is awesome!

Would you mind if I add this to "The G.o.T. Memoirs"

? It would fit there perfectly.

I wondered about that but decided that, for the sake of the story, this parlor stays open!

An enjoyable read. Around here, all the ice cream parlors close for the winter, so I guess I'll just sit in the parking lot and if anyone asks if I need something I'll answer, “Nope. Guess I’ll just wait for Spring.”

In response to "Power Man"

I doubt it. The point of these microscopic stories is that they last for 100 words and that's it. So the most I can hope from them is a quick grin or thought and the reader moves on. This one depends a lot on irony, I suppose.

I suspect we've all had experiences like this, TJ. But this one came at a time when I was really looking for something to write about. Hence the "heaven" comment. ;)

Literary Frippery

Literary Frippery

I remember H Rider Haggard,
in the sixties thought a blackguard
for writing books that were fun,
as if that should never be done.

I considered then the voice
of that Irishman James Joyce,
but most of Finnegan’s Wake
was so dense it made my mind ache.

I found refuge in Sir Conan Doyle,
Sherlock Holmes and Doc Watson his foil ;
George Orwell kept me from harm
with his tale of the Animal Farm.

But best of them all was Lewis.
sharp, clear, never tortuous,
and, though you will think me balmier,
I am happy to be here in Narnia.

Word count: 100
For Drabble Activity 2024, Week 9
Prompt: A rhyming poem of 100 words.
