Can You Tell A Story In…

It’s Thursday and your new five-word challenge is here. Last week, I wanted to know about your MONEY. This week, I want to know what you think about RULES. So can you tell a story in five words, using the word RULES in it somewhere?

Here are your MONEY stories from last week:

Kim Smyth:

I’ve no access to money.

Money in the bank, good!

Debit card compromised; no money!

Cash money works well too!

Paul Mastaglio:

“Show me the money, honey.”

“What money? Ain’t got none.”

Life’s not all about money.

Annette Rochelle Aben:

Found money is also lost.

Ritu:

Money talks, so they say.

Man with money – women flocking.

No money left after lockdown.

More money, more problems – truth.

I don’t need your money.

EDC Writing:

His money fed her need…

Sanjuna:

Money brings the ultimate shopstication.

Money rules rich but plays poor.

Roberta Writes:

Her money didn’t help her.

Money’s grip held her tight.

Trust me and earn money.

Darlene:

Money, the root of evil.

Love me, love my money.

Sanandijacq:

Money trickles down the drain.

Your choice – honey or money?

Making money is business pleasure.

Moving money oils the economy.

Jason Moody:

Money? Your millions won’t help.

Money? Do you accept fruit?

I have money. Do you?

No money. No shopping. Urgh.

Money is the root cause.

“Passport?”

“Yep.”

“Case?”

“Yup.”

“Money?”

“Dad?”

“You’re not borrowing money.”

Murray Clarke:

Money – makes (the) world go around.

Money, money — rich man’s world.

“Money For Nothing” – Dire Straits.

Marsha:

Money makes a poor bedfellow.

Money does not cure COVID-19.

Money in coins – no more.

Plastic money has COVID-19 germs.

Paper money is not safe.

Virtual money can be hacked.

Money is not the answer.

    I don’t listen to rules!
    Rules can not bind me.
    I’m free, not rule-bound.
    so
    Don’t give me your rules!
    See,
    I didn’t follow one rule!
    Uhm, never mind 😉

      1. Thank you, Esther – 5 words a more natural line than 6 for me – and as for true it is indeed – ‘Clarke – Delaney’ rules are out there from my science heyday! Though as often true you can read me in more than one way. Have a good weekend.
