Good one. Guess those gals got out of the water fast. Plus the farmer got a delightful eye full. The bucket served two useful purposes here. good luck in the contest.

    Thank you for the review and comments. I certainly wouldn't swim with a gator but I would go skinny dipping either.

Beth, This is a very cute and funny 80 Word Flash Fiction you have penned for the contest. I wonder what the girls when they heard the word gator? lol I would have somehow jumped out and ran however I looked! Thanks for sharing. Best wishes in the contest. Teri

Oh, this is clever, and it made me smile. These very short stories are somewhat difficult for me, so I kind of leave them alone. Yet, you show here how to do it!

    Thank you Verna. I glad you liked my little flash. I find them difficult too until I think of something that I might can work in a punch line at the end.

You deserve the prize for this. You had me laughing out loud with this! Had I an extra star, you'd get it. Sorry I have no influence with the judges. A different kind of writing for you.

That's a good one, Beth! They can't get out and can't stay in. But he didn't really have a gator in there anyway, I guess:)) A lovely little flash that amused me. Well done and good luck! Debbie
