My Entry to Day 29: 5 Minute Freewrite - Prompt: great-grandpa's nose
WPClipart
Thank you to @mariannewest for organising the challenge!
I'm starting the timer now.
Great Grandpa's Nose
Great grandpa is a pillar of British pride. You might guess, that's the opposite to me. (I'm ashamed to be British since the BREXIT fiasco!)
As you can imagine, we don't get on.
I can't stand the man but etiquette stops me telling him what I think of his superior, self-righteous attitude to life.
Great grandpa's nose stuck in the air, while he pontificates about the state of the world and the shortcomings of young people, makes me want to take three pegs, one for his nose and two to clip his lips together. Hah, that would shut him up!
But, no, gotta have respect... I'll be his age one day, all being well. Maybe I'll be an old fart!
Here is a link to the challenge.
Thank you for reading!
What a GREAT post! I love it :) The graphic you chose started off with a great feel for the post and you managed to convey so much in such a short time! Bravo!
Thanks so much! I enjoyed writing it. I type so slowly that me freewrites are all short.
I enjoyed reading this. Words once spoken cannot be taken back. I too have wished to zip many mouths, :p. Please do check out my essay writing contest
Thank you for reading and upvoting my freewrite. Your essay contest is interesting. The topic is very important. I have followed you (good to meet you) so will look out for future contests. I cannot enter this time due to time constraints.
Thanks a lot
To you being an old fart!!! And only barely half of you all voted for Brexit. so keep on being proud to belong to the other half!! That is my policy right now here in the US :)
