AnElephantCant keep his composure
He is working himself into a frenzy
But he scratches his ears
Why Friday Fictioneers
Always seems to come out on a Wednesday
But he will not get involved in such trivia
He must focus on his 100 word story
If he gets it right
He possibly might
Find himself happily covered in glory
The idea is to write a very short story, circa 100 words, based on a picture prompt (below).
That’s it.

Dad, I can’t do this, I can’t hold on any longer.
We are almost there, hang on, son.
Please, Dad, help me, my arms are breaking.
Just a few more inches and we’ll be okay. My fingers are almost touching, just a tiny bit more.
Oh, my arms, my shoulders, my back. Dad, I can’t breathe any more.
Be strong, son, you know your mother is depending on us. My fingers are touching now!
Dad, next week can we please just tell Mum that the one at the front was the biggest, firmest melon on the stall?
Very funny!
And you come up with all these rhymes in response to comments!
AnElephantCant apologise enough
To Abraham for not replying
This went into spam
WordPress thought it was sham
So AnElephant is now nearly crying
Sorry, my friend!
well, have to ask – why wasn’t the father carrying it?
Hi Rich, thanks for the visit and the comment.
But I don’t quite get your question, no one is carrying anything, he is trying to reach it.
Cheers
oh, i thought the kid was carrying a large melon and that’s why he was getting weaker.
that was fun. Good going
AnElephant is happy he can make
Nightlake
Smile
For a while
wanted to comment with a rhyme, but it looks rather odd..so this normal comment:) lol.
Of course in case of child abuse
you put the blaim on the produce
Thanks for the laugh
AnElephantCant fret about the child
He only gets riled
And starts to run wild
It is better to be cool and beguiled
He smiled
Hilarious! How you got ‘reaching for melons’ from that photo prompt, I’ll never know. I’d like a tour round your brain sometime
AnElephantCant do tours round his psyche
Although perhaps with you he’d be elated
He hopes you are glad
Even if he’s a bit mad
AnElephant thinks sanity is vastly overrated
Juicy bit!
AnElephant is not really juicy
He is more grey and wrinkled you see
AnElephant thinks more of it
Now he knows that you love it
Well done for finding humour in the prompt. Very funny twist!
Any Elephant worth his salt
Prefers a twist to a waltz
he wasn’t a thief or a felon,
just in search of the ultimate melon!
AnElephantCant deny it
He says it time after time
What he likes best
From his charming guest
Is yet another ridiculous rhyme
the pachyderm always stands firm
and he never speaks out of turn
it’s not that he’s meek
it’s just knowledge he seeks
and listening’s the best way to learn
AnElephantCant continue
He bows his grey head to Bill
His esteemed visitor
Clearly does it more
AnElephant’s rhymes are fast going downhill
I think the elephant inspires, and in all the goofy stuff in our world – what a great thing that is.
omg, produce. what a twist.
AnElephantCant easily resist
Writing a tale with a bit of a twist
Nice twist. Reminds me of my dad’s inevitable Search for the Perfect Restaurant when everyone was starving and ready to stop at the first available one.
AnElephantCant search for perfection
He already requires disinfection
I like this a lot, Elephant! Just keep stretching….Great story!
AnElephant stretch?
What bunk
AnElephant uses his trunk
Great story! Who would have thought, produce! So clever you are!
AnElephant isn’t really so clever
But he adores Lady Lovely forever
Totally hilarious! I am sooo feeling it!
Great job.
Emmy parle en Anglais
UnElephant has nothing to say
Alors je le dis in French:
C’est hilarant
Trop marrant
Absolument
Brillant
Je ris aux eclats
Tra lala lala.
Je pense que
Tu rigoles
Tant pis
Tu es drole
Mais j’ai deja dit
C’est moi qui
Blague cherie
Ah! C’est vrai.
Ah, the produce aisle. Now that you mention it, the sculpture does bring that search to mind. Fabulous.
AnElephant is not an expert on fruity stuff
His Mummy tells him he is not astute enough
As someone who peruses and chooses produce, I can identify with this. The best one is almost always just out of reach.
This was an amusing take.
janet
AnElephantCant disagree here
There is something in his demeanour
It is so true
But what can you do
When at the other side of the fence it’s much greener
AnElephant is moved
So glad you approved
LOL. I thought something tragic was about to happen. Thank heaven for conscientious shoppers.
AnElephant doesn’t do tragic
He prefers a wee sprinkle of magic
Nice!
AnElephant requires
To do something quite dire
I like your interpretation! I found myself stuck with no inspiration!
Just a waft of the trunk
And AnElephant generates junk
Haha
A Minne laugh?
Has to be
