political pixie dust for writer's cramp |
Political pixie dust writing com 32 Joesph Smith was a political operative Who had discovered a secret fragrance That would turn people into virtual slaves Following the leader around Doing whatever he or she said Driving people mad with desire To please the the wearer of the fragrance The problem was that It only worked If you got within ten feet Of the wearer But once you inhaled it You were hooked Enslaved to your master’s will He tried it out In the 2024 elections Taking a political backbencher Turning him into a contender He was known To be an enthusiastic Rally goer Always getting close And personal But power corrupts His secrets were revealed His candidate arrested His company Going under But others Knew the secrets And chemical fragrance wars continued underground. Two entries today, but only one fully satisfied the prompt. As for that winner ... well, they say the pun is the lowest form of humor. Xolo, I can't get over it. NEW PROMPT Being a stereotypically oblivious male, I don't notice dirt, believe there are only about 7 or 8 actual colors, didn't realize that was a new dress you're wearing, and so on. Yet even I have heard about the perfume "Chanel #5" - released on May 5th, 1921. I learned, looking this up, that it's named after its inventor, Coco Chanel. Which makes me think the perfume ought to be chocolate scented. Unfortunately, it's not. For tomorrow, write a story or poem about someone wearing a perfume that has an unusual effect on those who smell it. Perhaps it causes uncontrolled cravings for sushi? Or makes them unable to see the color blue? Or become convinced that they're the rightful ruler of Myanmar? Just pick some odd effect, splash that WDC #5 on your protagonist, and see what happens! Due May 5th, 2023 before noon, WdC time. === ( Deadline: 17 hours 13 seconds ) |
