Friday 55 Flash Fiction #217 Moving again...






I don't want to move again.

Every flaming year you insist I move.

I like it here, I'm comfortable and I've done well, leave me be!

Only a couple of months ago you said I was 'blooming'!

"You'll do much better over there by the greenhouse next year" 

said the gardener to the rose bush. 



Friday 55 Flash Fiction is brought to you by G-man (Mr Knowitall). The idea is you write a story in exactly 55 words. If you want to take part pop over and let G-man know when you've posted your 55.

    Sometimes it's not good to move your rose bush Melanie ;)

    I agree with the rose bush because my wife has made me move various plants to different locations in our yard.
