It is Stream of Cconsciousness Saturday again. This week’s prompt is “Drink.” Linda Hill says we can use it as a verb or a noun or any other way we can think of using. If you would like to join in the fun, please go to Linda’s blog and find out how. Here is the link. https://lindaghill.com/2016/06/24/the-friday-reminder-and-prompt-for-socs-june-2516/
“Drink” by John W, Howell © 2016
“Oh, this is an easy one. Drink.”
“You must be nuts. I don’t think drink will be easy.”
“Sure it is. I’ll start. I’ll have a drink of water please.”
“What the hell was that form of drink?”
“It was a noun, you idiot. The drink was a person, place or thing.”
“Oh, I see. So if I said, ‘Here drink this,’ it would be a verb.”
“Now you are cooking with gas. Try this, ‘All you can drink for a buck.”‘
“Um. I would guess a verb, but I’m not sure.”
“You are right. How about this one, ‘He’s a tall drink of water.”‘
“Easy. Still a noun.”
“Man, you’re a genius. Have a drink on me.”
“Noun. Right?”
“Yes but we are finished with the drink grammar lesson.”
“Adjective.”
“Okay stop with calling out the use of drink.”
“Why don’t you stop using the word?”
“Maybe I’ll switch to drank?”
“Past tense of drink.”
“How about drunk.”
“Yeah, let’s.”

Good one, John. “Now you are cooking with gas” is an expression I haven’t heard in a long time, although I use it. I used it last week and got some funny looks. Thanks for including that.

Ahhh, the English language…they say it is the hardest in the world to learn. Maybe, but one thing for sure, the words can be tricky! Always a challenge to us writers.
