Linda’s #SoCS prompt this week:
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “start with who/whom” Begin your post with either “who” or “whom” and go from there. Have fun!
Who's that, What's that? I don't know what I'm doing So I Text her, WhatsApp, Telling her to come through And then I Copped a Big Mac Milk Shake and some large fries It cost ÂŁ4.50 Take the gherkin out of the inside... Nico B
So, these are the beginning lyrics to a song that came to mind as soon as I read the prompt.
I remember the first time I heard this, on the radio last summer, as we travelled to one of Lil Man’s first Men’s Fifth Team matches.
The day was hot, so hot. A men’s match isn’t a couple of hours, rather a whole afternoon, bleeding into the evening.
This song came on, and the lyrics caught my attention as he was talking about a Macdonalds, and gettign a Big Mac without the gherkin…
I marvelled at the lyrical prowess of the newer artists. Actually, I laughed.
The song made no sense to me.
Why on earth was he singing about Maccy D’s?
It wasn’t until a few months later, when the song appeared on a compilation CD that I bought for Lil Princess, that I had a chance to listen to it, properly.
It seems to follow the story of a girl he got with, who ended up a bit of a psycho, and then he plants drugs on her so she gets caught by the police…
Still doesn’t explain the Big Mac sans gherkin, though…

Charli’s Carrot Ranch Prompt, dedicated to our wonderful friend, Sue Vincent:
April 1 2021, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less), write a story about a swift passage. You can take inspiration from any source. Who is going where and why. What makes it swift? Go where the prompt leads!
Gone
Gone.
Just like that.
One minute, he was there, the next minute, not.
I’d sat by his side for days and nights, stroking his hand, answering to his quiet murmurs, sponging him down, dripping refreshing liquid onto his parched lips.
I knew it was coming, and I wanted to squeeze memories into every second of life that he had left, with him.
And yet, he still managed to go, without allowing me to say goodbye.
He squeezed my hand, so I turned for the glass, and I returned to a face, smiling, at peace, finally.
Just like that.
Gone.

#Writephoto prompt, in Sue’s Footsteps, by KL Caley:
Foo Foo’s Revenge!
Little Bunny Foo Foo giggled to himself.
That silly fairy thought she had punished him, but what she forgot was that the goonie she turned him into, had a different power. The power to turn invisible.
So, donning his bunny glasses, he stood by the bush, and continued to bop the field mice on the head, feeling a little like his old self. If the fairy appeared, he whipped the glasses off and she couldn’t see him, either.
Perfect. He could still bop, and was safe from further transformation!
For anyone who isn’t familiar with Little Bunny Foo Foo, here is a clip of the song that has been doing my head in all week, as we played it to the class. of course, I had great fun pretending to be said Bunny, and bopped many children fieldmice in the process!
