CheersFest 2.0 or How To Roast A Bird!
So today is the day!
*cue music*
A-roasting we will go, a-roasting we will go,
Hi ho and merry oh, a-roasting we will go!!
Thank you to the hosts of this bloghop. They are Mark Koopmans, David Powers King, Stephen Tremp, Morgan Shamy and our Ninja Captain, Alex Cavanaugh. The 2013 recipient as you know is Arlee Bird.The oven has been prepared… the temperature is perfect… let's pop the bird in. LOL
Why did Lee come up with the A to Z Challenge?
A Bored Child Dreamed Every Fortnight. Great Hallucinatory Intense Jam-packed visions in which Krazy Letters Marched Non-stop… Onwards… in a Playful Quest ————————– then he woke up!
If someone dreams about being a juggler, what does it mean?
I have no idea and suggest you consult Sigmund Freud for help with this answer.
Is a post by Mr. Bird worth two in the bush?
Mmm, let me see… okay, here's my thoughts. Kill two birds with one stone. How? Get Mr. Bird eating out of your hand, plus the two in the bush and then you have three birds. Keep the one that is worth the value of two, which one would that be? You decide. Does that make sense? No? I thought as much… (Well, what do you expect when you ask an obscure question? LOL. It had my brains in a knot. By the way, the shortened version of this answer – yes)
Who could play Lee in a documentary? (Living or dead)
I have no idea. How about a combination of Larry Hagman/Sean Connery/John Cleese?
In approx 100 words, (excluding title) write flash fiction using all these prompts: Bird, Juggler, Challenge, Brown Jacket, Tossing.
You may well have heard
That a certain type of bird
Caused a stir, quite a racket
In a chic brown suede jacket
Tossing things here and there
Spinning round in the air
Twirling objects round and round
That never fell to the ground
Tossing letters to and fro
Juggling 5 blogs in a row
Filled with memoirs and dreams
And a challenge of extremes
Twenty six days of delusion
Alphabetical contusion!
For Bonus Points: in approximately 40 words, can you come up with a caption for Lee's Facebook picture?
The poem is great, Michelle!
Larry Hagman. I see it now…
Thanks for participating in CheerFest!
Your poem is awesome, as are the A-Z answer and the caption — all of the post was so funny!! Great job, Michelle, and a hilarious roasting-we-will-go for Lee! 🙂
That first answer A – Q, absolutely brilliant. Your Flash Poem is great. What a roasting this is.
Love your poem 🙂 Great job Michelle. 😀
This is certainly a fun roasting!
This is a great roast post! I was cracking up a few times!
Love the poem. John Cleese. I didn't think of that one, but I can see it.
This is funny! Love the poem. 🙂
You know, I can see a young Sean Connery in that Prom Picture…
You've really outdone yourself Michelle! I loved how you tied your wonderful poem, and everything else into A to Z! Very clever and fun!
Lot's of rhyming here. What a poetic roast! John Cleese!! He can do my silly walks.
Thanks for joining in the fun.
All your rhyming made me smile. You're so good at it! Great answers!
Hahaha! Michelle, this was one of my favorites. So entertaining! And look at you, a poet! Really great tribute here. Thanks so much for participating. Lee rocks.
I love your poetry entry and I do see a resemblance to Larry Hagman.
Hey Michelle,
I know, I'm late in the roast for the Bird. I love your rhyme. You did fine. The last two lines are the best. A to Z of alphabet jest. And John Cleese would be especially honoured to play the Bird.
I'm outta here,
Gary 🙂
John Cleese is a great choice. 😀
Very funny! Especially the 40 extra words for extra points.
Hugs and chocolate!
This is one of the best "roasts" I've read on this Hop! And I hadn't thought of Sean Connery as a possible candidate to play the Lee role, but that's perfect!
Hi Michelle,

Keep up the good work

Regards
Phil
