One said to the other, “this is nonsense.”
The other said to the other, “no it’s an alphabet. Therefore, it must make sense. Alphabets are like that. Sensible. A way forward.”
“Can’t make head nor tails of it,” said one, looking puzzled.
“Just concentrate and see what pops into your mind.”
“That’s just it my mind is empty, like an infinite void.”
“I’m sure,” said the other, “there are things you can bring into play at a time like this.”
“Well let’s see…a) always there is a solution. b) be patient. c) careful what you think about as it could be a red herring.”
“Disastrous thinking I would say.”
“Egotistical to say the least.”
“Facetious is what you are doing.”
“Good you have caught on, should I stop?”
“Highlight of my day.”
“Idiot.”
“Just when I thought it was safe too.”
“Keeps you on the straight and narrow doesn’t it?”
“Laughing all the way to the intellectual bank.”
“Mind how you go though you could do yourself a damage.”
“Never I’m always careful, on the ball and quite often pithy”.
“Open minded?”
“Primarily!”
“Queer egg aren’t you.”
“Rarely do I get questioned about such things.”
“Staggered by your attitude, I think I’ll retreat and think a while.”
“Terribly sorry to put you to so much bother I really am.”
“Understanding is my middle name.”
“Varies from day to day doesn’t it.”
“Weak mind set and oh so unreliable.”
“Xylophonic blast from the past.”
“You think so?”
“Zounds yes.”
“So how did we go,” asked one to the other?
“You were right the first time.”
“How so?”
“It was all a nonsense.”
“It’s what happens when words and letters pop into my mind.”
“Cup of tea?”
“Oh would be nice.”
“One lump or two?

hahahahaha nicely done, meet up at the intellectual bank with your cup of tea?
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
It does make sense despite it sounding atrocious.
I won’t say atrocious, lol. I was trying for a word, other than antidisestablishmentarianism with lots of letters, lol.
Just a little bit of absurdity. The task was to write about alphabet in one way or other, wasn’t it?
Yes, but I just couldn’t get my abcs to play along!
They do like to be coaxed, tickled even…it’s amazing what an R will do for you if you scratch its round bit..
The image is intriguing.
Refer to R
yes, R. I think I’m lost. The image of an R liking it’s round bits rubbed is intriguing. I never thought of rubbing my alphabet before — well, not quite that way.
see you can learn something new everyday…
Seems to be that responses have been lost in the black hole that is reply in wordpress.
Hopefully, all my messages shall someday show up and in such an order as to make sense.
Until then, I’m off to rub r’s and squeeze s’s and well . . . . good night Michael.
I am so totally confused right now 😕
Goodness really? Its all clear as mud isn’t it?
I still have my gum boots on!
Not a problem then Jen….wade into it…
😂😂 hilarious. I could picture the scene…
Thank you, you are very kind.. 🙂
Smashing old bean, simply smashing 😀
Thank you young lady you are very kind.
LOL
Funny piece Michael. Indeed who makes sense of alphabets to begin with? It ‘s crazy for instance that writers such as JR Tolkien created a language of his own for the Elves in his books. Great piece!
Thank you so much Mandi. Have a good day.
You too 🙂
Your piece made me chuckle! Perhaps it sounds like nonsense, but there is lessons even there we benefit from learning!
Most definitely, thanks so much a very challenging prompt…glad you could see the funny side …
