Greetings randomers
For writing month I am sending daily prompt newsletters to hopefully inspire you to get some words down.

The single word prompt is – Spare
Not sure if you’re aware
I seem to have some spare
I am happy to share
But you should beware
They were taken from a bear
Just in case you care
It was kind of a dare
I know that you weren’t there
You were riding your mare
I do not know where
You were seen by a hare
It is excellent fare
The line prompt is – ‘Who would do such a thing as to scuttle the Nancy Jane?’
The bosun charged into the pub wringing his hands, his hat threatening to leave his head with the action.
‘It’s been scuttled; the Nancy Jane’s been scuttled!’ who would do such a thing as to scuttle the Nancy Jane?’
The captain leant back in his chair and swigged his rum.
‘Who indeed?’ he muttered ‘Who indeed?’
Today’s track is – Bed of Roses – Bon Jovi
In these arms you said
We would always
Lie down in a bed of roses
These days I wonder if I misunderstood
Maybe that’s the story of love
I thought that we were legendary
I’m still shot through the heart with love for you
And I will never runaway
Thank you for loving me
Happy Writing
