Thank
you once again to Grandma’s Goulash for hosting Succinctly Yours! The idea of this meme is
to use the picture to tell a story in 140 words or 140 characters. The bonus
word was “object.”
Handsome Sir Willem was a dandy, a fop who didn’t
object to buying the very best fabrics. When the latest G.Q. was out, he knew
it was time to bolt to his favorite store. 135
Sir Will didn’t object to buying the best fabrics
for his wife. Mr. Fry could tell by the way he clutched his Vogue that those
dresses weren’t going on Lady Will at all. 137
“I’d been playing Voltaire to a straggling drunk but he’d
abandoned my dramas for a work of friction read him by a thin whore under the
colonnade.” ~Jennifer Connelly, Revolution
Tammy--Your use of "bolt" in the first one is priceless (bolt of fabric--pun intended, I'm sure) and the second one made me laugh out loud.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sioux!

ReplyDeleteI see you took the verbal route (as it were!) - excellent!!! YAM xx
Thank you Yam! I tried. Hari OM.
DeleteI love your first one! You have inspired me, but alas, I am still too lazy to go to Grandma's and play the right way. Or to fit in the bonus word.
ReplyDeleteHanding out brochures for his proposed nudist colony did not endear Sir Willem to Mr. Fry, proprietor of Ye Olde Fabric Shoppe.
Hee hee. Yet he looks a tiny bit endeared, does he not? ;)
DeleteI love your takes on the photos, Val. Please do come over to Succinctly Yours and play along.
DeleteLady Will is missing out big time. What a 'heel'. I think she should cancel his G.Q. subscription.
ReplyDeleteI loved the word play here. Some are hard to spot, this one you have jumping off the page at us. Thank you, Tammy.

In my wicked imagination, Lady Will and Mr. Fry share a private tete a tete about how Sir Will's "tete a tetes" look in those dresses. Thank YOU, Jim!
DeleteOh, the pun! lol I love those. You've sewn them up very nicely. :)
ReplyDeleteHa! Yours was better. I struggled with this one. Thank you for your generosity!
DeleteHa! Love the second one. What a dandy!

Thank you, Pat!
DeleteLove both your takes, Tammy, especially the second. Like always, you made me laugh this morning. I love stopping by just to see your word magic!
ReplyDeleteAwww...thanks, Teri!
DeleteGreat job as always! And I also liked the previous post...
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Lynn!
DeleteTwo different and very entertaining slants on the photo. I'm still chuckling over "bolt".
