Written for Esther’s “Can You Tell A Story In…..? #277”
Exactly 40 words including the five required prompts:
‘hammock’, ‘playboy’, ‘alligator’, ‘bassoon’ and ‘tender’.
This is my 40 word very short story in limerick form.
The hot hunky playboy sang ‘Love Me Tender’
While a rockin’ alligator strummed his very cool Fender
In an old hammock fat frogs did croon
While swamp rats played a giant bassoon
And the crocodile choir chanted ‘Return to Sender!’

That is so clever, and only you could weave in two song titles and still stay within the word count!
