Ermilia’s Picture it & write (Sunday 21th October 2012)
Once again, here is my offering to ‘Picture it & write’ hosted by Ermilia (Ermisenda and Eliabeth) who invite others to join them by writing a fictional story or poem to accompany an image presented on their blog.

“Oh look; there it is… There it is… There it is… How many times do I have to say this?
THERE IT IS…..!
Are you listening? Do you Care? Don’t you realise this is extraordinary? It is. It’s extraordinary!”
“Why?”
“‘Cause we are looking at something not everyone gets to see.”
“Why?”
“‘Cause most people don’t care.”
“Why?”
“Well, I don’t know why they don’t care. They just don’t.”
“Uh.”
“Well, you know; it’s that thing most have.”
“Uh.”
“You know; that thing. They’re, you know; lazy.”
“Uh.”
“Oh, come on. You know what I’m talkin’ about. They’re lazy sons of …”
“Uh.”
“Cut the crap, mate, or I’ll make you.”
“What the…”
“Yeah; I’m sick of you not caring ‘bout what I have to say.”
“Oh, hell man.”
“Yeah; and as far as that goes, you can pack your gear and get the…”
“Shit man.”
“Piss off.”
“Gawd, what’d I say.”
“Ain’t what you said, mate. It’s what you don’t say.”
“Shit!”

Love it. You made me laugh. Exactly, it is not necessarily about what you say, it`s quite often about what you do not say. This is genius!
Thank You, Dace; that’s exactly what I was hoping for…! Laughter at our humanness…! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Very true. Sometimes the strongest and most loaded of messages are given when you don’t say anything at all. Great contribution this week, Carolyn!

Thank You, Ermisenda. As I said, I had misgivings. I forget I’m dealing with exceptionally savvy folk… 😉
well written one carolyn.
Thank You, Sharmishtha… I must admit I had fun with this one…!
some people just dont see the full dish 🙂
Hahaha, darn right! And next time be careful how you don’t say it!
Ha ha, Anne; too right…! Sounds like this was the straw that broke that proverbial camel’s back…. 😉
😀
(Wink, wink) 🙂
Nice! Very funny! 🙂
It happens….! 🙂
Most pure dialogue is boring BUT YOU PUT TOGETHER A GOOD ONE. Thanks for sharing. It was humerous and yet human.
A great compliment! THANK YOU, WALLY! xoxoxo
Wow! Fabulous where your words can take us. Thanks for another great write, Carolyn!
Thank You, sweet girl… I nearly didn’t post this one! I was a little concerned about the ‘language’. This is all a bit new to me, and I’m really ‘feeling my way’… So glad you enjoyed! 🙂 xoxoxo
You are a talented writer!
xoxoxo
And you are wonderful!
Come on over to my Blog. I finally have a new Post, and I’m so excited!
Well that was telling them! I hate complacency as well.. c
Thank You, Cecilia… I think an awful lot had happened to that relationship before this conversation happened.. haha… Thanks for dropping by; I’m enjoying your blog, you are one good writer..
Nicely done. I got a smile and chuckle.
That’s great… it did its job.. I was hoping for smiles and chuckles…! 😉
Thank You… 🙂
where is today’s post? 🙂
Haven’t been inspired as yet. Though, I have a couple of requested animal reflections to be done, plus one that I have mentioned I’d like to do…
your animal reflections are splendid!
Lol! That was good! Loved it.
Ha hah… Thank You so much..! 🙂
How often we fail to appreciate the truly wonderful things around us, treating them as prosaic. No one is more guilty of this than I am.
Hmmmm…. I guess, Smak, we can become a little blasé at times… So many incredible things are happening technologically in our world today, they now pass (some of us) by without truly seeing their magnificence. Guilty as charged too…! 😉
Great job Carolyn.
Hello great lady…! Good to see you, Kim…
Very funny Carol… hahaha I was surprised that you came up with a funny story basing on the picture above, yet you have managed to impart a very strong message:) You are amazing 🙂 xoxo
Ha hah, Dolly…. I just write what I feel, really..! I don’t generally know where it will go; I just let it happen… You are such a sweetie to make such a lovely comment, my dear friend… xoxoxo 🙂
very funny! And you’re right, I don’t care about those things,and I should!
That wasn’t me speaking; it was that couple up the road who are always quarreling. You know the ones I mean – he said, she said…. could go on all night…! 😉
Brilliant!
As are you, my dear Hook…. Thank You….. 🙂
I love this idea and would be very flattered if you would consider writing against one of my images,
Scott, I am the one who would be honoured/flattered…!
Thank You so much, I’d love to….
You ‘name’ an image, and we’ll see what comes…!
You are such a sweetie…! 😉
Right in that case – I had a look through and the obvious image was
http://skm1963.wordpress.com/2012/09/03/i-could-tell-some-stories/ (I could Tell some Stories) 😀
but also happy for you to select your own choice…..
Love it..! Let’s see what comes…. 😉
