LOL, love it love it love it. When I was reading I suddenly got it, so good, made my night.
Brilliant! A delicious, delightful, witty take on the prompt picture! I've read it three times, just to make myself smile again.
Okay, so NOW I have the song stuck in my head!!! This is absolutely precious. PRECIOUS I tell you! And it would be just like the cat and the crow to argue about blameshifting while the whole household lays around them dead……so funny. LOVE.
Wonderful!
I had to google the nursery rhyme it's been a long time since I heard it! Excellent effort!
I did the same thing as Kern! I read it, smiled, and went back so I could smile some more! Really brilliant, Lisa!
A clever piece of writing and I thoroughly enjoyed it.You had me mentally going through the nursery rhyme just to see if it really was the fly's fault.
Oh my gosh! I love this! I grew up singing that song with my grandpa. Such a creative idea! This made me smile! Wonderful job!
I'm late in replying, but this was one of my favourite prompts! Took a while, but when it hit me I giggled! This one was a delight to put together.
