Kaleidoscope
I call her Kaleidoscope.
She thinks it’s because she is beautiful, a treat for the eyes.
Whereas really she’s continually, annoyingly, mindlessly, changeable.
Funny!
Ronda
Thanks!
Now I can’t help but wonder what she calls you … 😉
I can’t tell you that, Na’ama, this is a family blog!
LOL!!!
Yes. Well crafted. I find the short to be the most difficult. But I managed to prune off words to meet the task.
Thanks, Bill.
I find, with so few words, it is easier to start with none and add them slowly
I write them and then begin the culling process.
I hope your kaleidoscope is not reading this 🙂
She doesn’t have the patience…
😀😀
Ah, a lover of fine adverbs! And humourously, tersely witty as well. 🙂
Only to make a light-hearted, jocular, amusing, point, Christine.
(See, adjectives too!)
Blimey, you know her too!
In my admittedly limited experience, Keith, she is far from unique
Dear CE,
As I was mindlessly, pointlessly, aimlessly perusing the internet at numpty o’clock I read your kaleidoscope of 23 words and laughed out loud.
Shalom,
Rochelle
I am delighted, m’lady, to amuse you so much in so few words.
Thank you
Nice. Do you need the last comma (the one after mindlessly)?
Thank you, sir, glad you enjoyed.
I find I rarely need a comma, but I do, very often, take pleasure from their inclusion.
Debates on the Oxford Comma, for example, have raged for centuries.
I find such discussions continually, annoyingly, mindlessly, pointless.
But I like your question.
Oops, I see now that you are, in fact, a lady.
My apologies for addressing you as ‘sir’.
