From: Sultry Enchantress


Hmmmmm, not one of your more plausible stories, but a good read none the less. You must be tired. Are you tired, Joe? Pthb

And why haven't you bought any of my cNotes yet? Huh, huh, Moneybags! I know ya took Third Place on that Oakcliff Review "Just Imagine" Contest. Wasn't that a big windfall of GPs?

Oh! Where didja find all those 12" goldfish at? Still, I think Bill's idea for using the pond to keep baitfish was a good one.

Ya know, you shouldn't write about yer missus fallin' in the toilet cuz yer guests have no clue to put the seat down. Ya know she ain't gonna appreciate that. Confirmed bachelors, I tell ya, they don't make good guests, do they? Lotta bad habits. ~shaking head~

Gotta admit though, that was a good idea 'bout sending them to Sunnyside Golf Course. Say, is that the place that has them different colored golf balls, so you know which golf ball is yours? I like the red golf ball myself. Smile

Another thing, wasn't it Mark Twain who said that "Guests are like fish, after three days they both stink?" and not Ben Franklin? I coulda sworn it was. I like Mark Twain, he writes a good story. I especially like that one about the Calaveras County Frog Jumpin' Contest.

Okay, I've annoyed you long enough. Oh, and Joe? Thanks for my entry to "The Writers Cramp". *Wink*

Warm Regards,

Val


Rating included: 4.0 stars out of 5.0 stars. (Note: A 3.0 is Average.)



Author's Note:"Fish and guests stink in three days."
Benjamin Franklin, Poor Richard's Almanac.

Use the above quote as your inspiration for a short story / poem including guests, at least 2 goldfish and a golf ball.
