Can You Tell A Story In…

It’s Thursday once again and that means five-word story time. Your new word this week has been sent in by the wonderful Lance Greenfield. Thank you, Lance 😊. His word is:

SHAME

So can you tell a story in five words using the word SHAME in it somewhere?

Your word last week was BOWL. Here are your BOWL stories:

Christopher Farley:

Our bowl: made to share.

Full bowl, enough for everyone.

Kim Smyth:

I need a smoothie bowl!

Bowls of soup are soothing.

I bowled him over yesterday.

Ritu:

Bowl haircut – not great look!

Love a bowl of cereal.

Dashing looks bowled me over.

Can’t bowl – never a strike!

Never a clean bowl – Kids!

Christine Mallaband-Brown:

Porridge in a bowl, tasty.

Satellite dish or star bowl?

I’m playing lawn green bowls.

Dinah went for ‘bowl’ screening!?

England’s bowlers played well today.

Cat bowl full… No empty!

Trent’s World:

She wears a bowler hat.

To ski Aspen’s back bowls…

Ruth Scribbles:

Infatuation bowled him over again.

My bowl of grits fell.

She ate a salad bowl (it was plastic-lol).

Lance Greenfield:

Fishbowl: no corner to hide.

Buddhist monks bear begging bowls.

Cat licks the bowl clean.

Oiled bowl contains perfect salad.

Rotating bowl is goldfish’s treadmill.

Val Fish:

He bowled a maiden over.

Are goldfish bowls really claustrophobic?

  1. Sadness often stems from shame
    Shameless sheep sing soulful songs
    To blame is to shame
    My shame is well deserved
    I should not be ashamed
    Ashamed of my willing compliance
    Innocent victims shouldn’t feel ashamed
    Her cheeks burned with shame
    Shaking and shivering with shame
    Farting in public is shameful
    Are you ashamed? Certainly not!
    Fake news! Donald is ashamed.

    BLUSHED with shame, reddened cheeks!
    MUCH to chagrin and shame!
    FAILURE, an unfortunately regrettable shame!
    DOES giving away shame someone?

    शर्म से गाल लाल हुए!
    दुख और शर्म की बात!
    असफलता शर्म की बात है!
