Words for Wednesday




This meme was started by Delores a long time ago.  Computer issues led her to bow out for a while.  The meme was too much fun to let go, and now Words for Wednesday is provided by a number of people and has become a movable feast. 

Essentially the aim is to encourage us to write.  Each week we are given a choice of prompts: which can be words, phrases, music or an image.   What we do with those prompts is up to us:  a short story, prose, a song, a poem, or treating them with ignore...  We can use some or all of the prompts.

Some of us put our creation in comments on the post, and others post on their own blog.  I would really like it if as many people as possible joined into this fun meme, which includes cheering on the other participants.  If you are posting on your own blog - let me know so that I, and other participants, can come along and applaud.


The prompts will be here this month but are provided by Margaret Adamson, and her friend Sue Fulton.  They also include photographs taken by Margaret's friend
 Danny McCaughan.

Without further ado.

The weeks words are:

  1. Scuttle
  2. Rapper
  3. Drop
  4. Machine
  5. Flowery
  6. Button 
 



And/ or 
  1. Cashback 
  2. Tipping
  3. Pizza
  4. Energy
  5. Unsubstantiated
  6. Clear 

One day a strange person walked into Bob's Pizza. He wore blingy jewelry like a rapper would wear. It was an unsubstantiated claim that her actually was a rapper. Along with his jewelry he also wore a flowery shirt with large, bright buttons. The customer displayed much energy as he asked for cash back while using his debit card to order a personal pizza. While he was waiting for his order, he went over to the music-playing machine and dropped in some money to play some tunes, making scuttling dance moves. He slowed it down after a while, though, in order to cause tipping over of things nearby, and to not get dizzy himself. The music cleared once his order was ready.

This is good, all the words in one paragraph too. I hope he wasn't too dizzy to eat his pizza.

He sounds like a very strange person. Scuttling dance moves would scare me. I hope he departs with (and enjoys) his pizza.

I was wondering how people would squeeze in the word scuttle. I like how you did it! Also, tipping things over instead of tipping the waitress. Bravo! 😊

Nicely done - tho I think he was trying to avoid tipping things over by slowing down?

he sounds like someone that would get everyone's attention, although I wonder about his dance moves since they might make him dizzy. he's certainly someone who enjoys life. good use of the prompts.
