Written for “Can You Tell A Story In…” –
Esther asks: “Can you tell a story in 23 words?”
We must use these three words in what we write:
‘quinoa’, ‘ferret’, and ‘thwart’. Here’s my 23 word story.
“You can try to keep the quinoa from us” the militant ferret shrieked,
“but you will never thwart our plans for world domination!”

Remind me not to go near any ferrets!
I tried the song to see if I liked it any more than their massacre of Sound Of Silence. I didn’t 🤣

Do you know how difficult it is to find a song about maniacal ferrets intent on world domination? Next best thing. 🤣
Nope, I’m not into ferrets. 😉

I’m sure you realize by now that I don’t love (or even like) every song I use; that’s not going to keep me from using it.
Thanks a lot for the Pop Goes the Weasel ear worm …. NOT! 🤣
