Friday Flash 55...



(Rosebud, Fruit-Dish, Velvet-Glove, Sheath..
French Pear, Buggle-Boe, Porridge, Cut-Sleave)
Alas...He Mused.
Why was he having such a dilemma naming his comedic masterpiece?
Damnable women and their spell on men!!
Women with their 'Pie'.
With their 'Dark and Vicious Place'.
With their 'Hell'.
And drama?...It's ALWAYS...Much Ado About Nothing!!!

.

If you or anyone you know has written a Friday Flash 55, please come tell The G-Man. I will visit, read, enjoy, comment, Then BOOK!!!
So from the most gracious host from coast to coast...
Have a Great Week-End!!
Peace...!!!

FOOTNOTE..Parenthesized words. 'Marked' words. And the word Nothing. Are Elizabethan slang terms for Cooter.
(Ha..That Footnote was so Mojoesque)

You know... I think most of these have made it into Modern English too. Just slightly modified.

But the "Nothing", that I did not know. Makes perfect sense though. Heh.

Onward she rides!

Excellent. I have a feeling that Will made much ado about everything.

Mine is up, or should I say down.

To hasten the taming of the vicious shrew,
Take her to the place where they sell cute shoes...


Oh, Puck it, I'm not writing a sonnet. Already did that today. Elizabethan slang is a trip, huh?:)

'Dark and Vicious Place' and 'Hell' <-- for cooter, really? They must be referencing women with STDs?

Never heard that before G-man thanks for the lesson. ;-)
