If I Could Be, I'd Be a Shmoo by Tom Horonzy
Humorous 50 Word Story writing prompt entry










As a Shmoo, I could smooth one's troubles
as a Smith Brother's cough drop would
soothe a sore throat or remove a mote
from the eye of the G.O.A.T., to score
a three-point shot and win a championship,
but as a Shmoo, I would not do so,
for LeBron's Lakers.


Writing Prompt
Write a humorous 50 word story. 50
words exactly. No need to have a
beginning, a conflict or resolution.
Just tell something funny in 50 words.
No poetry.

Author Notes
A Shmoo was a doughy cartoon figure that acted as an empath in Lil Abner taking away the hurt of anyone needing aid.

A picture of me in 2008, wearing my Obama glasses vs my wise father-in-law, wearing Republican goggles. Some pick winners, other losers but I will not favor these L.A. Lakers
