Dribbles and Drabbles -

GOOD MANNERS

Charles saw the familiar figure approaching and being the gentleman he was, stepped to one side.

With a sweep of his arm and a mock bow he waved the man forward.

‘After you sir’, he said, smiling.

‘Stop playing silly buggers Robinson and get in that cell!’ growled the guard.

 SOOZIE’S ADVICE

I wait until Barry leaves for work then call Soozie.

‘Sooze, I need to talk.’   

I take a breath and begin, ‘As you know it was Charlotte and Calum’s engagement party last night.  Guess who turned up? Only Charlotte’s biological father. Barry has no idea. He thinks Charlotte’s his. The male stripper I had a fling with on my hen night is.

Now, this is where it gets complicated,’ I pause, ‘it turns out that stripper is also Calum’s dad. What do I do Sooze?

Soozie stares at me. Thinking. Then thumps her tail.

‘I agree,’ I say, ‘best keep quiet’.

HAIKUS -

The haiku is a Japanese poetic form that consists of three lines, with five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, and five in the third. Jacqueline has used this form to create stories (nano-fiction).

HEAD IN SAND

He had suspicions

But kept his thoughts to himself

He loved her too much
