Chef Marcel,
a man of literal sorts,
finally realizes his dream
Today is the day
he opens his very own
sidewalk café
Sacré bleu!
He has forgotten
the non-stick spray!

This weekend, Ms. Jenny challenged us with a photo prompt and was generous enough to give us up to a full 100 words to capture a story. Well, I kind of got use to the "flash fiction" posts of late so I combined her photo with Monkey Man's Sunday 160 meme, where you have to use 160 characters, exactly, to write your story. The above was my attempt.

I guess it really IS hot enough to fry an egg! Nice 160.
Perfect! That image gagged me so I opted out. You made it sing.
This is great - a lilting little verse that ends in a funny disaster. Great minds, yes?
Namaste..........cj
Hi..thanks so much for coming by and making me feel welcome to the Sat. Centus. I loved doing this and am looking forward to next Sat.
Tell me, if you would, when does Jenny post the subject of the centus for the week?
I love your cute personality that comes thru your little *centus* here.I am impressed that so many come up with amazing results using such a limited number of words. Amazing and I just love it. Sorry I have missed so much already.
I am signing up to follow..hope you will come back to see me soon.

Truly gives new meaning to the term "sidewalk cafe":@)
That is awesome. Great Sunday 160 photo prompt combo. Thanks for playing and enjoy the rest of your weekend.(I've gotten used to these shirt fictions myself...I can hardly write more than 55 words anymore.)
Even with the spray the eggs come out gritty.
oy, it has been hot enough for this to actually work...
It would be a funny site to see ...
I just got a good chuckle out of this. Great minds think alike. "Non-stick spray" <--love it.

I LOVED THIS!!!!!! It reminded me a bit of the Amelia Bedelia books I enjoyed as a child... and as a first grade teacher :)
So creative... so much fun!
Funny one, I'll walk carefully past this sidewalk cafe.
That was a cute story! And only 160 characters? That rocks! Great job!
Clever and so well done!
=)
I said with Grits....Not Grit!
haha, I love your wit with the prompt. Very fun & great 160!
Very funny! I had a good giggle.
Excellent job !I had a good little chuckle reading this cute prose.
Dream realized and no non stick spray on hand ?...those are sure going to be messy omelets !
That was a very clever, and fun, 160! Ta!
I certainly won't be eating any of Chef Marcel's down and dirty creations! :) Well done! No pun intended!~Ames
I have not visited for a while. I had forgotten just how terrific this site is. Thank you!

Polly! I just totally adore you! What a perfect post!

Dear Polly,
Great verse that fits the prompt perfectly! (Was that 160-characters too?? Oh my!)
Best wishes,
