"Don't worry Gertrude, said Heathclif
ten more miles, we'll be in Atlantic City
eating Salt Water Taffy Wrappers...
WAIT UP!"
(My homage to the late, great Red Skleton!)
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!

Heathcliff had better power up with more saltwater taffy if he wants to catch up with Gertrude on the home stretch. Good one, Peggy!

Thanks for posting the reference. I read it and my brain was madly trying to remember where I'd heard of Heathcliff and Gertrude. Never bothered to look at the bold. D'OH!

Wait for me, too! (They can have the wrappers. I want the taffy!)
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid they won't get my wrappers without rooting through the garbage for them. I never litter.

Loved your story Megsy!!
