Give and Take, a Saturday Centus

The Saturday Centus challenges us to write a piece within 100 words based on a prompt. Yikes. We can only use 60 words this week. Jenny is our wonderful teacher and hostess. Please check out the other offerings. There are much more sane writers than me  whose blogs are well worth visiting.  The prompt is bolded below.  Enjoy and have a great weekend! xo Robyn

Give and Take

A gal likes a looker. You’re one; I can’t lie.
You don’t stop a-lookin’ at babes who stroll by.

We all want a giver
And giving you do
To Jasmine, Carlotta, Me and Mary Lou.

Now, take this Dear John:

"You’re a jackass.
We’re through.
Love,
Jasmine, Carlotta, Me and Mary Lou”

  1. Loved this!

    I thoroughly enjoy perusing the "Saturday Centus" prompts. You do a great job with them!

    I'm still chuckling about the "Final Truth" poem from a few weeks ago.
    VERY creative.
    Have a great weekend!

  10. Thanks so much, Bryce. I appreciate the visit and compliments.

    GB, true. It sounds like the female apes have collusion down to a science too. Is that right, GB?

    MsA, thanks. Glad it's working for you too.

    Judie, damn straight! Thanks, girlfriend.

    Marnie, I hope you cleaned up the coffee. Thanks. =)

    Jo, that's right. On the same page, signatures and all. Thanks!

    Nonna, thanks. If only it really happened this way. That would be awesome.

    Jeff, that's the feel I was going for but didn't realize it until reading your comment. Thanks.

    Julie, thanks. I hope you'll join us.

    Alex and Dazee, thanks. He'll never know what/who hit him (it could've been any or all of the five of us).
