Time again for Friday Fictioneers, hosted by the fabulous Rochelle Wisoff-Fields. A 100 word photo prompt, although you’re not shot if you go over a tad. After last weeks despair I’ve gone lighter this week, however my humour may be so bad that I still make you cry………

Simeon felt the corrosion in his ears before the singing fully reached his shack. He pulled a pillow round his head, trying to muffle the impact.
“High on a hill lives a lonely goat herder”
Lifting the pillow slightly, he shouted back “Down at the bottom lives a bloody frightened goat, Peter”
It took a few minutes before he realised the singing had stopped. Then suddenly an almighty crash flew the doors wide open.
Peter stood, hands on hips; a 6’4 wall of solid muscle wearing a long black habit and a set of wooden beads.
“I TOLD YOU TO CALL ME MARIA” he screamed.

Helen you managed to make me laugh out loud at the office. Well done….now everyone is starring. Very funny indeed.

It took me a second to realize what happened, then I burst out laughing! Great take on the prompt!
That’s the thing when you’re writing a joke, will someone else get the thought in your head 🙂
Ha.. yes I can see Maria coming in.. Maybe (s)he should refrain from singing until all the hormones are consumed.
Yes, maybe the baritone voice is a little too low, lol 🙂
Very funny. A great idea.
Thanks 🙂
Oh, what a mental image! Methinks Peter has been at the vino again 🙂
Yes, maybe it was that stuff you’ve been brewing, lol 😉
Heh heh 🙂

Had me thinking ‘Dear god, just call him maria and no one gets hurt’
Oh, Helen, too funny. How do you solve a problem like that, Maria? 🙂

Probably should have said, “a problem like that Maria!” Commas make all the difference.
The only problem is I cant get the “goat herder” tune out of my head, lol 🙂

Dear Helen,
The hill are alive with the sound of….??? Disturbingly funny. Visualizing the 6’4″ nun with a five-o’clock shadow.
Shalom,
Rochelle
That was the image I had as well, 😉
Very funny…wonderful twist ending 🙂
Thank you, I’m glad people got the joke and it wasn’t a tumbleweed moment 😉
This was hilarious, Helen. You certainly outdid me this week. The visual image at the end was worth a thousand laughs.
Thanks, I usually go dark, but this week went for bad humour instead 😉
Haha, I certainly wasn’t expecting that! Great job. 🙂
This one was wild and unpredictable. I love it! I love the “Call me Maria.” Ha ha. A really fine piece, Helen.
Thanks, I thought I’d been dark for too many weeks, lol 🙂
AnElephant is still chortling!
Hahahahaha! That was PRICELESS! Thanks, Helen!
Didn’t see that coming. Lovely play on the musical.
