Having found nothing remotely edible, Stanley cawed dejectedly. Spotting Ollie at the far end of the block, he winged toward him. Settling atop his friend’s head, he couldn’t have looked sadder.
“Ollie, I’m awfully hungry. When do you suppose we’ll find something to eat? I hope it’s soon…very soon.”
Ollie sighed, “Stanley, how many times have I asked you to not stand on me? It’s embarrassing. And how can you possibly be hungry again? What ever happened to that expression ‘eat like a bird’?”
As Stanley began to tear up, Ollie knew it would be a very long day, indeed.

This made me smile!
ReplyDeleteLOVE THIS. And the Laurel and Hardy reference was a bonus. Another gem!
ReplyDeleteYou've made me laugh, which is good, but you've also made me hungry. Sigh. At least I'm not perched on anyone's head.
ReplyDeleteAn amusing take on the prompt.
ReplyDeleteYou could tell by looking a the picture that the cat is embarrassed!
