Great twist. I like the way you wove the prompt words in so that they fit naturally.

I just read the prompt before. I read your intro and it's funny. I love the ending.

Cute. (Hope you're not insulted by that word.) I enjoyed it, got a chuckle out of it, and I needed a chuckle. Thank you.

Someone trying to pull the wool over - a wolf in sheeps clothing - mutton dressed as lamb - sounds a like a good yarn - thanks for sharing :-)

Looking inside that head of yours is scary at times. lol. Enjoyed it very much. Gave me a smile on a day with a bad cold as a companion

You have to look fast if you're looking into Susan's head. It's going in multiple directions in rapid fire succession.

The engineer in me wants to call that "brownian motion" but I have learned that there is no such thing as "random" in the universe, and that also applies to Susan's mind.

Aw, man, boys. This conversation about my rapid-firing (probably misfiring) thoughts is a silly diversion.

I'm working on transcription today and plowing throught the most amazing interviews about being a diver back in the 50s to emigrating to the US from Nigeria to writing a huge book in a language not one's own. (His first lanaguge is Hmong). Fun, but exhausting work.

I thought and thought about this prompt and couldn't come up with anything. After reading yours, I have all kinds of ideas. Oops, too late.

Susan Budig - Mindful Poet Feb 1, 2011, 12:00am UTC

You know I accept late stuff, Len. And I'm determined to submit to that one prompt of your about "what inspired that writing?"
