Can You Tell A Story In…

It’s the Thursday before Christmas, so how about a Christmas story challenge? Here you go:

Can you tell a story in 25 words? You must use the following words somewhere in the story:

CRACKERS
TURKEY
SHEPHERD
STOCKING
MISTLETOE

Last week’s prompt was to tell a story in 8 words using the following two words in it somewhere:

BROCCOLI
CHEEK

Here are your delightful stories:

Kim Smyth:

She stuck the offensive broccoli in her cheek.

Lance Greenfield:

Bruno Broccoli is a cheeky, cheery little lad.

Chris Page:

Bond kissed Barbara Broccoli on the wrong cheek!

Christine Mallaband-Brown:

His cheeky beard resembled burnt broccoli with mustard!

Ritu:

Broccoli in my cauliflower cheese? What a cheek!

Michael B Fishman:

Pureeing broccoli. Cheeky move, friend.

Love,

The Cat.

Treehugger:

Scrumptious. Poached broccoli with a braised pig’s cheek.

Sharron P:

Twenty pounds a bag of broccoli? Damn cheek!

Christmas shopping list:
One Turkey
One packet crackers
New stockings
Spring of mistletoe…
But why ask for a shepherd?
Did she want a shepherd’s pie?

MISTLETOE

Miss Turnbull grabbed the crackers, turkey, and veggies to start her shepherds pie. After dinner, they kissed under the mistletoe and she hung his stocking.

Mr Shepherd eyed the mistletoe above, then the turkey in his arms.
‘Kiss this bird?’
His be-stockinged wife, Mrs Shepherd, nodded.
‘You must be crackers!’

The lonely shepherd was spending Christmas in the Swiss mountains. He was stocking up on Turkey, ham, cheese, and crackers. Mistletoe omitted. Only sheep for company.

My collie, Crackers, was shepherding a flock of turkey through the yard when Brad came out in his stockings. “Kiss me, Kate! Here’s the mistletoe!”

Sam’s shepherd costume shrunk in the wash.
Snagged my stockings.
Forgot to defrost turkey.
Grandad cornered me with the mistletoe!
Jesus, Christmas drives me crackers!

Merry Christmas Everybody

She didn’t care about the turkey or the run in her stockings. Kissing the shepherd under the mistletoe danced in her head. Was she crackers?
