DON’T SIT UNDER THE APPLE TREE
Hey! Where did everybody go??
As usual, Gary the geek was being so boring that even the grass fell asleep. That’s the reason he came in for more beer. Gary was holding forth at great length about carnivorous plants, like the Venus flytrap, and the pitcher plant. They grow in poor soil, so they trap and absorb bugs to obtain extra protein and other nutrients.
He wondered if the gang had gone around to the pool?? It was funny that they just disappeared like that. Well, he’d sit here and finish his beer under this big tree, and join them later.

Click on the title, if you’d like to hear the Andrews Sisters from 1942, sing a ‘missing men in the Army’ love song. Then go to Rochelle’s Addicted to Purple site, and use her Wednesday photo as a prompt to write a complete 100 word story.
I love the song and your post. Poor Gary.
Would you consider posting more songs with your writing, if they fit?

At least as a Canadian, I can get a cold one. If I had to choose between a Gary and a warm British beer, I might just stay and snooze. 🙄
Thanx for stopping by. 🙂

With all the beer that’s been absorbed, it’s no wonder that tree has a lean. 😳

Just around to the left, past the croquet lawn. I’m coming along to see if Gary can still talk with his head held under water. 😳

Someone needs to be kind enough to tell Gary he’s being a bore. Doesn’t sound like he’s smart enough to figure out why everyone else disappeared 🙂

The Garys of the world are often too busy talking, to listen.
Some of them should be named Phil Ibuster. 😆
