While the G-Man's away the One Stop Poets ...

...Host

We are not in the story business yet, though I've heard Dustus can weave a fine microfiction.
The G-man aka Mr. Know It All ( he really does) is away hunting possem or brewing moon shine or...
So while he's away, we are going to try to stay out of trouble - Ha! Why should he have all the fun???
 If you have never written a story in 55 words, try it.
If you are a regular - let's make that critter proud!


Here's one in honor of you - G-Man

Has a thing for feet we've heard
You may think that fetish quite absurd


but has a heart that purrs
in exactly 55 words
 Fridays he has us all enmeshed
 makes 55ers take the test


His humor knows no bounds
when G-man does the rounds

 rumbling Harley's clear
we know that G-man has been here





 "Mr. KnowItAll
That’s what he’s called
Got our backs
In barroom brawls

Prefers Wolverines
Coffee to tea
Cherry cars, roaring Harleys
Big House on Saturday
Might be his sanctuary

Always wish to take part in his meme
Consider him part of the One Shot Team!

Bawdy humor
Thing for feet
Michigan proud
Our blogosphere complete

For more 55s to read or if you want to try your hand. Visit G's site
Thanks G-Man for your support of One Stop Poetry the feeling is mutual

Ol' G-ma-an had a blog...Mr. Knowitall. And on his blog you leave a comment....Mr. Knowitall. With a comment here and a comment there, here a comment, there a comment everywere a comment..It was so confusing I almost cried...Mr. Knowitall.

Okay...a real bad Ol' MacDonald, but come on...how many places do you have to let know you're playing???

My 55 is HERE . And there. And...oh nevermind.

I left a comment on G-Man's blog and I'm leaving one here cause I said I would. Loved his 55 and the one here in tribute.

Mine is up.

PattiKen said...

I know G-Man didn't offer the third option of leaving comment at both sites, but what the heck. This is sort of like home, and besides, mine is a poem.

I’m fluttering by here.

steveroni said...

Me too...gotta comment both blogs.
For mine, please click
HERE and BTW, who or what is FDR? --grin!

Awful nice of your Peeps to perform this service for G-Man AND all us Peeps! Thank YOU!

Great tribute..he will be proud.

brokenpenwriter said...

What fun - an opossum story challenge. Possum's plight is too often unseen until too late, as in my story. The Possum's Tale.

HisFireFly said...

I'm joining in the fun for the very first time, left my link with Mr. Linky.. hope he treats it well.

Bubba said...

Kim A's link was broken - I fixed it.

moondustwriter said...

I've decided when the G-mans away the One Stoppers don't have time to play.

It's been a great 55 all

and I'm hoping that Mr. Know it all is surprised by all the food prepared for him.

We'll deliver it in that Blue Corvette - lol

Have a "kick the door closed on your way out" weekend

cheesy moon :)
