She Justified Procrastination With Flimsy Excuses
Book still unfinished. Blogging wins again.
“You’re incoherent!” they scoffed.
“No, look.”
Though mediocre, she entered them anyway:
Married in haste. Repenting at leisure.
Kittens are harmless! (Sophie’s last words.)
Upon tasting, discovered it was manure.
“I wasn’t always a woman, Darling.”
Never was cutting toenails so fatal.
Their final course was Roger sorbet.
No bright light – atheists were right!
Her heart sank. Fish ate it.

The first and last are particularly chucklesome. Very good!
Steven King in six words? Wow!
Unfortunately I can identify with 'Book still unfinished. Blogging wins again.'
Very nice :)
Incidentally, are you a NaNoWriMo participant by any chance?
Thanks for the kind words =)Foodkitty, you should enter. I've heard of NaNoWriMo Scott, but don't really know what it is...
NaNoWriMo = National Novel Writing Month (see http://www.nanowrimo.org/). It's a free writing contest which takes place each November, where you're encouraged to write a 50,000 word piece of fiction - from scratch, pre-commenced novels need not apply - in a month.
Difficult, demanding and lots of fun.
Dear God! It sounds like something guaranteed to tip me over the edge into an ocean of crazy. ;)
P.S. What the hell? I can't even read my own word verification.
Loved "Her heart sank. Fish ate it."
Thanks for your comments and your comment :-)
Thanks for putting some meat in your profile, too. (Loved the Princess Bride which was on my to-see list for years -- and I got the DVD filled with comments on sale when Tower Records closed last year.)
