Have you and Prospero been going for beers again?
I like the simplicity of this.

Holy Cow! Jumbs
That is uncanny. We have independently written virtually the same story.
How weird is that?
Great writing with an easy fluidity that brings you effortlessly to the punch line.

The same - but very different.
A fresh fillup from cheeky youth, and a perfect answer. Nailed it.
Do you and t'other one go to the "John" together too - get it?!!!

Well done John,
Loved the punch line! Perfect.
Interesting particularly in view of my comments on Prosp's. This guy has left his tattoo precisely so that others don't forget. Brilliant.
Initially I did not like the opening because it was too much 'tell' right off, but the ending is, how do you say, cracker!
Best,
Brian.

Hey Jumbs,
I like this. It's a rare and random moment to have such varied souls cross paths, and have them connect in a way that is as beautiful as an old poem.

Yes... thanks, Avis.
I'm glad it worked for you.
Did you make it to the Book Fayre thingy in London? How was it?
All the best

Hi
Thanks for reading and commenting.
Maybe you're right, a bit too 'tell' at the start - but one of the limitations of drabbles, I guess? That's my excuse, anyway!
Thanks for reading,
john

Yes,
drabbles are very limiting in that way which is why I'll pass on this one. Don't get me wrong, thought it was well done. I surely could not do better.

Book Fair was an experience. The lunch with other WWers was the best bit. I escaped ~ 3ish but the others decamped to apub and were still going strong @ 7pm - hangovers for all the next day I hear. If you are on facebook there are some pictures of when we were all fairly sober!!
Cheers
