3-6-22 Three requirements for today's prompt (in addition to the usual requirements) - 1. Include "it always looked so easy" bolded somewhere in your story or poem. 2. Use Comedy as one of your genres. 3. Include an inanimate object as a central part of the storyline/subject. It always looked so easy to put the golf ball on the tee-- for my husband at least. Did I tell you? Oh. But not for me! It is inside a ball full of water. I just can't do it-- no matter how hard I try. Give him thirty seconds and it sits there - (So to speak) high and dry. A smirk, a flash, self-satisfied grin-- and he'll do it over and over again. So annoying! So whenever I'm in his man cave, I make a point to knock it off. That I can do! And he'll just put it back on - his ego to save! His buddies all fail to get that ball on the tee-- so they all knock it off when he doesn't see. He blames me! Since his stroke, it's gotten harder but it is good therapy- eye/hand coordination takes practice, don't you see. Five minutes now: at least he can do it. He's still the king of the golf ball; at least inside the water globe. Out on the course, of course he's just king of the water--whatever mode-- And down in the man cave, the ball sits on the tee. 35 lines |
