It’s the Thursday before New Year, so how about a New Year story challenge? Here you go:
Can you tell a story in 13 words? You must use the following words somewhere in the story:
- RESOLUTIONS
- FIREWORKS
- DRUNK
Last week’s prompt was to tell a story in 25 words using the following five words in it somewhere:
- CRACKERS
- TURKEY
- SHEPHERD
- STOCKING
- MISTLETOE
Here are your hilarious stories:
Miss Turnbull grabbed the crackers, turkey, and veggies to start her shepherd’s pie. After dinner, they kissed under the mistletoe and she hung his stocking.
Chris Page:
The school hosted a crackers nativity play that featured a naked shepherd kissing a turkey under some mistletoe whilst wearing a stocking over his face.
Christmas shopping list:
One turkey
One packet crackers
New stockings
Sprig of mistletoe…
But why ask for a shepherd?
Did she want a shepherd’s pie?
Ritu:
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!’
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!”
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.
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!
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?
Sharron P:
“I’m wearing my stockings,” she said seductively, waving mistletoe.
More like wrinkled knee-highs, he sighed, and ate his shepherd’s pie. No turkey or crackers then.
