Written for Friday Fictioneers where we are
asked to get creative in 100 words or less using
the photo below for inspiration. Here’s my story.
Gregory Goose shouted:
“Stop lollygagging, you gang of pencil neck geeks, and get a move on! We don’t have a gazillion hours to waste. A performance awaits us so step lively. And speaking of step, watch yours. There’s goop about.
Greta! Grab hold of those goslings!
George! Stop giving Ginger googly eyes!
Glenda and Gloria! Quit gabbing!
Listen up, guys. Christmas will be here before you know it. If you don’t wanna get cooked, we gotta nail that ‘six geese a-laying’ verse. We need two more geese in our gaggle to make three groups of six.
Ladies, who’s feeling romantic?”

Ooh, try not to let it get your feathers ruffled. Let it all just roll off your back. You’re no birdbrain so you won’t feel like a duck out of water for long, Ivor. Take these broken wings and learn to fly again! 🪿

On a tree by a river a little tom-tit Sang “Willow, tit willow, tit willow” And I said to him, “Dicky-bird, why do you sit Singing ‘Willow, tit willow, tit willow'” “Is it weakness of intellect, birdie?” I cried “Or a rather tough worm in your little inside” With a shake of his poor little head, he replied “Oh, willow, tit willow, tit willow!” – Koko, The Lord High Executioner from Mikado
