Microfiction Monday # 53



Welcome to Microfiction Monday.
Where a picture paints 140 characters.

Susan over at Stonyriver hosts Microfiction Monday The rules are simple,to use Susan's picture she posts then compose a story up to 140 characters including spaces and punctuation.

So here is this weeks picture and my story to go with.


Ain't that the Life-Buoy from our sunkin skiff shouted Popeye
I pray the pirates didn't melt dear Olive Oyl and add her to the soap.

Now Leap on over to Susan's place and leave your name.
She even has a brilliant counter to help us count.
As Susan promises, it's fast, it's fiction, it's fun!

    Olive Oyl had many hidden talents, and now it appears the pirates have discovered yet another use for the old girl. LOL So creative!

    Poor Olive. I always liked her better than Popeye. But I guess he couldn't be used for soap - Spinach Soap?

    Really fun slant on the photo. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog.
