Background/Foreground/Repetition

By kiteweather

The babychicken is yellin help.  “Help help!Get me outta here!  It is dark and crampy!”  “Hang on!” calls the rescuer, “Rescue911 is on the job!”  “Eek Eek!” screeches the baby chicken, “Dont crack my shell, you clumsy fool!”

Some apples were growin in the orchard.  They grew dreamily in the sun and the moon and the rains rainin down.  Then one day an apple said, “Oh the wonderfulness!  I am ripe!”  Along came a walkingby, and picked this apple and ate it.  “Hmmmm,” said the other apples…

Some people were hangin around the cosmos when along came a walkinby sayin, “Hey! Have you heard about immortality?”  “Oh…no thank you,” said the people, “We would rather have the lifeinsurance money.”

Some apples were growin rotten in the tall orchard grasses.  “I wonder whatever happened to that eaten-up apple?”  they were wondering…

Everybody went to Festival.  Some were liking it and some were hating it.  “Have you got any extra toiletpaper?” they were always saying…

Some acorns were visiting at the Old Oaks Home.  “Momma is so much happier here,”  they were always saying, “– than livin alone in that apartment.”

Some apples were growin dreamily in the sun and the rain and the moon moonin down.  “Hey!  Have you heard about immortality?” said an apple.  “Have you heard about apple pie?” said the other apples.

Some people were bein immortal.  “Well….now whaddaya wanna do?”: they were always sayin..

    I laughed so hard I had to wipe the tears from my eyes before I could read the next story—and then again–and again ’till I almost peed my pants I’ve actually eaten some immortal apple pie with acorn crust!

    Same here. Read these at work and they were a delightful diversion from the job at hand.

    Seems sometimes we all can only say the same thing: my version is purple bleeding hearts floating down dreamily on the appletrees and acorntrees and all us other trees. ‘And none of us knows why, none of us knows why.’

    Yer first comment requires signoff from the captain in order to exclude lifeinsurance salesmen — no kidding.
