It's time again for 55 Fiction Friday! Details on what it is and how to play at the end of the post. Come on, you can do it!
MrWurdi's 55 for the week:
Parodying the Parody
And I've been lift’n and tote’n so long that
Everyone thinks that my back is gone
A man with a plan, I'm into discipline
Got a whip in my hand and a beard on my chin
But if you finish all my chores and you finish thine
This weekend we're gonna party like it's 1699
My 55 for the week:

Post is up and away!
How It Happened Back Then
Terry Tyrannosaurus was driving his brand new Sport Utility Vehicle past the lava refinery. All over the news he was hearing Albertosaurus talk about global warming.
“Buy carcass credits from me. Help stop global warming!”
Terry laughed. His pea sized brain clearly did not comprehend what his reckless behavior was doing to the ozone layer.
The water cascades by in the stream. The crowd approaches, each with one common goal. Each pressing to rush to the front in their haste to be first.
He bit his lip. Which was his favorite color? Just pick!! Is it the right one? Number 10.
Ducklings rush on by.
Give the boy a prize!
You all inspire me so much! Great 55s!
