The Rating Game

Saturday Centus has rolled around once more, and Jenny's write-happy readers are living the dream with her new prompt, which (coincidentally) is "I'm living the dream, man." No more than 100 words can be used to develop this *sigh* totally dreamy theme, and I have used considerably fewer. The prompt, as always, is in red.

Rating the Dream

©2012 Susan Noyes Anderson


I’m living the dream, man, a bad one.

Who knew? I expected a rad one.

But R(ad)’s not the rating…

It’s X-cruciating.

A nightmare, if ever I had one!

hey you, ok, hope that this isn't a true story about an X-ray that showed something it shouldn't have. Tell me I'm reading too much into it and I should just be laughing! xo

Susan Anderson said...

You should just be laughing, Anita. No bad news here.

Sounds like you are taking Vit E like I am. Ha! When I take my vit E it helps my memory so much that I remember my dreams.

When I have those dreams I'm always wondering what I ate that night at dinner!

Once Upon an Equine said...

I always remember the nightmares, and rarely the good dreams. Clever poem. I hope your next dream is a Rad one. (My Centus will post Monday morning.)

Darlene said...

Hey, that was fun. Short and sweet, just like this comment.

i totally thought you were going to say you saw hunger games and thought it should be R for violence just based off of your title and i had just read jen's post on how she wasn't letting some of her kids see it.

Unknown said...

You are rated R(ad) in my book.

People Who Know Me Would Say: said...

Clear, clever, concise...... and I saw something unintended(?): RX. So the optimist in me wanted the prescription for the cure: God. :-)

Do we know how Todd did last Friday yet?

And are you seeing progress in your Easter production? Keeping you both in my prayers. :-)
