Wednesday's Words on a Friday

 

The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems.

The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind.

If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words.

This month the words/prompts are supplied by River (that's me) and can be found here

This week's words/prompts are:

1. striking 2. deliver 3. insulting 4. coffee 5. spanner

Also including Charlotte's colour of the month: St Patrick's Green

Here is my story:

Showing off his fancy dress costume of a velvet St Patrick's day green, he struck a pose as ordered by Madonna on the soundtrack we had been listening to earlier and declared, "I cannot stand that man's insulting words a moment longer!  Now be so kind as to deliver me that spanner and I shall loosen up this frozen bag of coffee grounds."

I handed him the spanner, not asking why because I already knew the hammer was lost and probably would never be found, and he set to striking the foil packet of coffee grounds we had discovered deep within the bowels of the chest freezer. He struck quite vigorously and the packet was soon loose enough to spoon some grounds into the coffee machine.

We were soon sipping delicious coffee on our new back deck watching the sunset and remarking how closely the oranges and yellows mimicked the face and hair of "that person whose name shall never be spoken in this house."
