Microfiction Monday #29


Susan at Stony River hosts this fun theme each Monday, so do pop over and read the others who have
signed Mr. Linky. The rules are thus:


Every Monday Susan will post a picture for the subject of your story. Microfiction means the shortest of short stories. Think Aesop's fables, comic strips, or even jokes: complete stories that can be told in under a minute. For this game, the limit is a tweetable 140 characters or fewer, including punctuation and spa


Here's today's picture and my contribution.



The head teacher thought that the deer sporting the team scarf and hat was encouraging.


 
However, personally, he would not be seen dead in it.

Peggy said...

...and the principal won't even wear the outfit. Poor deer is right.
Very nice Akela!

Neither would the deer if he had his way. A very clever microfiction.

Cheers Ron, glad you got the punchline. :)

And your play on words too Dominic :)

Teachers don't appreciate their student's idea of fun do they Sylvia? ;)
