Nice little story. I will share one with you. Some nitwit got me a Rubik's cube as a gift. One of my sister's no doubt. It drove me crazy. So, I went into the bathroom , locked the door, and carefully removed the stickers one by one and replaced them so each side was one color. If, that was not one of the solutions, then the colors would have been painted on, and not removeable. That's my position on it. Whenever I was asked if I solved it, I said yes. How long did it take? Ten minutes I think. All true. Just not conventional. Karen

Do you know what I like about you? Our consistent enigmatic personalities
I have never solved the process of my thoughts
They are like a drifting fog that escape. From unidentifiable corners having me muse how I found the subject written
Always thankful

Sometimes I have no clue at all how I wrote something. Sometimes, I don't remember writing it. I read something and then I think, oooh, that's quite good, and discover it is me! Does that make me vain? :-)
Comment from Tim Margetts
Interesting piece and to be fair, I am not sure what to make of it.
I can say that it has made me think and contemplate it and read it over a couple of times, which in itself is a positive thing.
I just still can't decide if I like it, or love it, or neither.
You have given me a challenge so kudos for that.

Comment from Debi Pick Marquette
This is hilarious, Tom. I am so glad I took a bite of this post, and you are right, none of it tastes like chicken either. LOL.
I love your comparison of these little chefs to a writer as it makes complete sense that not everybody is a scholar or a chef. I guess as long as we see those who are working on whatever they choose to do with all they got, that is what matters.
You don't have to be perfect at things to be proud of yourself. But you don't have to think so high of yourself that it is obvious to others. One of my pet peeves in life is arrogant people. My mom had a saying if you don't mind if I share it. She said:
If you love what you are doing and you always do your best,
Then keep what's working for you and throw out all the rest.
But then she changed it a hundred times that I remember, but it always was kinda like that. Learn what works and what doesn't and spit out the stink in life.
Thanks for this fun post. I had a good time! Love, Debi

Fun and sun
That would be me
Whether penning poems
Or cooking fish from the sea
Guests are invited with each effort but after they partake with my first offerings only return for the coins
Luv ya

A fun satirical poke at all of us (and yourself I think) ...
Young or old, children or adults, I suspect each of us has thought highly of what we came to see (hopefully) later on, were not exactly the Robert Frost poetry or the Hemingway novel we thought they were.
I've got a fair number of notebooks full of "skunk" and (gasp) likely more in my portfolio...
The only way to learn how to write better is to write, write, write...
I enjoyed this!

Again, this app eats my return comments as I did reply with a nomination because you were the first to see it was autobiographical, too. I dabble in cooking (boiling water) and writing, as you know but I have fun doing so

I'm a little shaky on boiling water and writing ~ but as far as improving? The journey is as much fun as the destination! (smile)
Comment from T B Botts
Hi Tom,
well, I've never tried skunk or possum, and I suppose at this late stage of my life, I never will, in part because neither one live here, fortunately. I have read some posts that leave one wishing they'd been left un-read, but we don't know until we read them. None of us are born learning to write, it's an ongoing learning experience, and some are better than others, but at least FS gives folks a change to try their hands at it.
Have a blessed day.
Tom

I wrote this tongue in cheek and it is not meant to criticize other writers, in fact, it could be perceived with the unknown author being moi
Thanks
Comment from Julie Helms
I like whatever corner of your mind this offering came from. I think you MAY be implying that some of us writers aren't the hot stuff we think we are!
I only have one objection to your theory here:
skunk tastes different than possum, and neither have the flavor of chicken.
Now everybody who's anybody KNOWS, if it ain't beef or pork...then of course it takes like chicken. :-)
If your interested in some grammar corrections:
an author's composition drab and dreary *leave* bookworms repulsively *revolting* as if the offering of either aspirant...
Should be:
an author's composition, drab and dreary, leaves bookworms repulsively revolted, as if the offering of either aspirant...
A fun flash fiction.
