Kidnapped by Aliens
A grasshopper blundered through my open car's window.
To the toy spider on the back seat, it said:
Take me to your leader!
Hello All,
long time listener, first time poster, hope you like.
It's called "Kidnapped by Aliens", but that didn't fit the 100-character limit... and is not really needed.

This should be car's open window -- although blundering through a closed window can be more fun.David Kafri wrote:A grasshopper blundered through my open car's window.

That is exactly the kind of stuff that's hard to get right 'cause English is not my first language (Hebrew is). It didn't feel quite right, but I couldn't put my finger on what was wrong... (another) good reason to post here

Sheep ire.
In eerily silence he crept through the dark. A sheep reared up, fangs gleaming. "It's happening," he thought at the end.
Re: Sheep ire.
You can turn a verb into a noun by gerundification. But I don't believe allowance has yet been made for adverbs to be adjectified, unless you have a valid poetic license.lyda wrote:In eerily silence he crept through the dark.

I have driven around Ireland, and let me just say I know the feeling.
I thought it was really quaint how they use sheep for their graffiti.

Re: Sheep ire.
Oh drat. I had originally started with "The night was eerily..." but "the dark" was less characters and conveyed the same. But I think this makes it better - I wanted "started" because, obviously, it better implies something new, different and munchier is happening.strawman wrote:You can turn a verb into a noun by gerundification.

There are sheep in the field next to me at the moment. They look placid and harmless, but you just know if they had a way they would wreck mighty revenge.
So. Twabble mark II.

Still have a quibble. "It has started" is only one thought, no?

Probably works better if you use "Spell-ing Bee".
Snow White slept for a spell
'til the prince did his magic.
He was a foiled necrophiliac
vs morning breath, quite tragic.
