In Keith’s words

“Using this photo (below) as inspiration, write a short story, flash fiction, scene, poem; anything, really; even just a caption for the photograph. Either put it (or a link to it) in a comment or email it to me at keithchanning@gmail.com before 6pm next Sunday (if you aren’t sure what the time is where I live, this link will tell you). If you post it on your own blog or site, a link to this page would be appreciated, but please do also mention it in a comment here.

Go on. You know you want to. Let your creativity and imagination soar. I shall display the entries next Monday.”

Kreative Kue #231

“Alphie come look.”

“What is is m’ love?”

“The rubbish bid has been tipped again.”

“Ack those boys.”

“Yes, and you need to set it right.”

“Me? Why not just let the rubbish blokes take care of it?”

“You know full well those blighters won’t lift a finger to right the thing. They’ll just pass by.”

“Okay but I’m getting distraught with this goings-on.”

“I know, dear, but what can we do?”

“Post a camera out by the bin and catch the little maggots who are doing this mischief.”

“Good idea. Let’s see. A camera and line feed couldn’t be more than two hundred pounds—”

“I get it, Bertie. For two-hundred pounds I can make many trips to the bin.”

“There we are, my smart man. Now pop off and set the bin right and I’ll put the water on for a lovely cuppa.”

“Ah, the shortest distance to getting what you want done, is through a tea strainer.”

“And a wee scone.”

“Be still my beating heart.”

“Now go on with ya and wear your scarf. It looks like a bit of chill in the air.”

  3. I can’t compete with your imagination, John. What popped into my head for this picture was …
    “Wilbur, I am beginning to think it wasn’t a good idea to climb into this dumpster to cut school.”

    1. Wee, in this case, isn’t about the ​size it is about being humble as to its quality. Home made and all. Obviously from the husband’s reaction, there is no reason to be humble.

  17. Great work with the story and the dialogue, John. I may even swap my coffee for a pot of tea, this morning. I read this hearing the accent very clearly.

  20. Oh, what a softie a cuppa and scone and she had em! Mebbe over that cuppa he’ll come up with an idea to stop those silly buggers from tipping the bin that won’t cost a fortune! 😁

    You have the lingo down pat! Well done, John!
