Another challenge, and you all know how I love a good challenge. Vivian Kirkfield is hosting the #50PreciousWords Writing Challenge. You can follow the link to read more about it, but basically – write a story for children in 50 words or less. It’s not as simple as it seems.
GNU SHOES by David McMullin
Hugh Gnu’s gnu shoes were used, so Hugh pursued new gnu shoes at SUE SHREW’S SHOES.
“Two and two,” said Hugh, “plus two,”
“Plus two?” asked Sue.
“I choose to chew shoes, too.”
“My shoes are not to gnaw, gnu.”
“Who knew,” said Hugh Gnu.
“Not you,” said Sue. “Shoo!”
Thanks for reading. Now go to Vivian’s site to read all of the other wonderful entries.
Funny and clever. Well done. 🙂
Thank you, Lynn.
Love all the word play! Very nicely done!
I did have fun with it. Thanks.
No shoes for Hugh! =) Good luck!
I know. Poor Hugh Gnu.
Glad I got to read your #50PreciousWords, David. You have a way with words that is delightful! Kids would LOVE to try to read this out loud!
Thank you for hosting, Vivian. It’s a great challenge.
Quite a mouthful! Who knew? YOU! Congrats on a fun entry.
Thank you, Patricia.
