Wednesday Challenge and the word “growth”
and for Sue & Gerry’s Weekly Prompts February
Colour Challenge and the word “green”.
This is my response.
Whoa-hoa-hoa, Earthman! How long have you been living in that forest?
Don’t look now but there’s something funky going on with your head!
You got this crazy green growth and it’s looking most viridescent.
But you wear it well and your skin has a nice mossy glow.
You’ve taken tree hugging to a whole new level, dude!

Thanks so much, Sue. Finding humor in things (especially in myself) is one of the things I do best. Being able to laugh and make others laugh is a great joy. I’m glad to know I brought some joy to you. 😊
It’s always a pleasure for me to participate in your challenges.
