Jiggly Jell-0
A Quiet Night
The evening started out so well at my favourite restaurant
A vast buffet of delicious choices, as many as you want
Much too full for rich dessert, no room left in my belly
The server offered a colorful tray of tiny cups of jelly
-
There was peach and raspberry, strawberry, lime, and many other flavors
I tried them all, and then took seconds, the taste I truly savored
My smile grew wide with each plastic cup of the colorful jelly jiggle
My voice grew louder, I started to sing, and dance and laugh and giggle.
-
I was invited out to dinner, a quiet night they said
But now it’s half past four a.m. and I can’t find my bed
Oh wait, I don’t even live here. What is this place I’m in?
There a spike heel near my ear canal, and a sneaker stuck to my chin.

Prologue Today's post is short fiction in honor of all the hassled parents trying to keep their angsty teens in line. "Bye mum! I'm not coming home for lunch today. I'll be going to Mac's with Kelvin and his buddies before we head to his house to study for a test." With that, Adam Lim careened like the Flash out of his humble HDB abode.

What a fun little jelly poem. Well done Cathy
So funny. I tried a jello shot once. I was god awful so got pissed on red wine instead...There was a four am but no sneakers or heels ...just an unassuming shrub of some kind 😁
I love your unique humor you put in your creations 🥰👌That’s not easy to do for some, it just come naturally in your stories and poems
Hilarious!
Not what I was expecting. Too funny!
How a sneaker got stuck to your chin is the real mystery.
