He only wanted to get drunk, the fight was a welcome diversion.
Since we are all going to die anyway, we might as well live it up.
After the door closed, darkness overwhelmed the light.
Got sun-kissed today, in the worst way, will gladly pay, just take the pain away.
They were lying on the sand like beached whales thinking of what to have for supper.
I completely missed the presence while waiting for the future.
Liquor sales went through the roof as soon as the peanuts marched onto the bar.
War is short for ‘warum’ (german: why), but nobody seems to know.
Healing a broken love is like fishing for intestines in a shot-up belly.
Yelling for help is counter-productive in the middle of the night, alone in the forest.
Ever wondered why we fall into love when in reality we climb to seventh heaven?
Plankton and whales, the littlest supporting the biggest, just like us and the government.
Woke up happy, got hit by problems, need to go back to bed and wake up all over again.

A fine write Fred. You gone to bed, with the last line?!
Yep, it's 10:15pm here and I am on my way!
Excelent FRED you even OUT~MICHAELLED ~ MICHAEL 12 excellent mustaches ti brighten a Tiresome Tuesday. As a Pacifist No. 8 is my fave. We don't need TRIDENT and scrapping it and its upkeep would solve all the financial problems of the NHS in one blow of the Nackers Yard. In 50 years time I may need a new HIP and I cant afford £100 k ! Yours BRIAN Please sample my RICE PEAS 'N CHICK befor Steve eats it all ! Thanks B.
Thank you Brian for reading and commenting, and especially for commenting on no.8. That one is close to my heart. Will certainly check out Rice Peas n Chick as soon as I had my morning coffee!
Brilliant - I'm out-gunned - 12 in one go - I'll not match that but I'll sharpen my pencil for a few tomorrow.
Thank you Michael, for reading and commenting. Didn't really mean to outgun you. But yours really did inspire me and while working on the computer I had another window open and every so often something popped up in my head and I wrote it down. Then a lot of editing, et voila!
Realized that you helped open a door to something I actually enjoy! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!
Only in jest = my pleasure Fred - hope to see some more.
A lot of humor and some wisdom here well done Fred I enjoyed this
Thank you so much WL, and thank you for saving it as a favorite. Don't really think these scribbles deserve this honor.
These are some good thought Fred.
Thanks Goldfinch, you know how it is, even a blind chicken will find some food sometimes. All it has to do is pick away!
Like those one liners. It get the target in one shot, very incisive.
Thanks M&M, they are fun to write, at least for me. Sometimes something pops up in the head practically ready to go, sometimes there is just that vague thought that needs to be molded into the final product. And except for that one where I rhymed inside the one sentence, no rhyming!
So lovely clever Fred. I got special feelings for some of them. Great reading.
Thanks so much Malu, glad you like them!
What scribbles they are my friend
I'll now have to check what inspired you
The lines in this are keepers for sure
I thank you for keeping the Ripples going
Thank you, PD! The first one was inspired by Charles Bukowski, the others were just random thoughts.
Each one a thriller waiting to be written..... so many plots... so little time.
Thanks da, I wish! And you are right, time is the enemy!
