Microfiction Monday # 19



Welcome to Microfiction Monday,
where a picture paints 140 characters.
Susan over at Stonyriver hosts Microfiction Monday.

Here's this week's picture, and my story to go with it:



Since the Dixie Chicks' politics fizzled in Peoria,
they hoped their past would be forgiven
by joining the Touring Shakespeare Festival.


The rules are simple,to use Susan's picture she posts then compose a story up to 140 characters including spaces and punctuation.
Then hop on over to Susan's and leave your name. She even has a brilliant character counter to help us count.
As Susan promises, it's fast, it's fiction, it's fun!

  15. Peggy your story is so well done! I think the old DC girls would probably benefit greatly!
    Very well done and very very funny, and fun!
    I'd let my toes soak all day in a stream like that!

  19. My connection failed so I'm not sure how far my comment got! Apologies for any repetition.
    Great take - theatre, politics, all part of the same performing arts ;-)

    You're right, I can't see the DC ever being wallflowers.
    I always enjoy your comment, thanks so much for visiting my blog!

  26. Janel;

    I heard something like that myself.
    Shakespeare was not their strong suit!
    Hope you week is the best!

  27. When one door closes, another openes, eh? I love Shakespeare, but I wonder what a Dixie Chick version would sound like.

  29. I wonder what the Bard's career might have been like if he'd taken a similar political stance... I'd guess a beheading would have been in the 'offing.' Nice one!

  31. LOL! I wish them luck. some people remember to dislike long after they have forgotten why.

    What a perfect take on this photo.

  32. My Nasty Romance:

    You're probbly right. Ouch a beheading is far worse then the Shakespeare festival Political views can ruin a career, but thank goodness we have that right to express them or not!

    Have great week!

  35. Oh, that is so funny!

    Don't you just know some straight laced politician type would be berating them to their face for their costumes....the trying to get them OUT of said costumes later?
