Written for Shweta’s Saturday Six Word Challenge #126.
I have also used one of the great images by Kevin @
No Theme Thursday. This week’s prompt word is
“hopeless”. Here is my 6 word very short story.

Life’s just hopeless
without my gal.

Love it. Was surprised by the Strait tune, as I was expecting Julie London Cry Me A River

I thought of that great classic song but wanted a tune that better matched the image. Julie may have been thinking about a cowboy but that’s just speculation! 😁
Thanks, Keith.

We say stuff like that here in the sticks of Texas. If not for gals, usun’s wouldn’t eat or have a clean pair of jeans. If they have “big hair,” that’s even better, and if they know how to bowl, golf, or worm a cow, then they are a goddess. My wife, Momo is an RN, so that makes her a life saver, the kind with real sugar. Good short one, Nancy.
