Written for RDP where bushboy asks us to
get creative with the words “Bingo calls”.
Thanks, Brian! Here’s where the prompt took me.
“Harriet, where are you going in such a hurry? I’m hungry!”
“There’s leftover tuna casserole in the ice box, Ralph. No time to cook dinner tonight. Bingo calls!

44 droopy drawers, 32 buckle my shoe, 35 jump and jive – I miss going to bingo.

My grandfather’s widow (4th wife, not my gran) was Bingo crazy and would take herself to the Bingo Hall on the bus every Saturday evening. I cannot ever remember her winning anything.

I used to volunteer to work bingo many moons ago at the church- I think watching was more fun than playing!

I always felt the only time bingo wasn’t boring was when I won a game!

We had the home version of the game and would play as a family. My grandkids like to play, but I never went to an organized game of Bingo. You’re right, they really get into it! 😊
