This is my 45-word response to
Sammi’s Weekend Writing Prompt
incorporating the word “guide”.
Our guide,
he truly tried
to hide
from the cannibal tribe
but they circled wide
and would not be denied
eating our group fried
at the feast for chief’s bride.
We offered a bribe.
With whisky plied
they let it slide.
Bright side:
nobody died!

Two cannibals were eating a clown. One turns to the other and says; “Hey! Does this taste funny to you?” 🙂
