I went to a
garage sale
run by a man who
had no bones
***
He just hung there
on a clothes line,
held with clips,
***
flapping about in the wind,
***
making deals.
***
And I was
sorting thru
a box of
things for sale
***
when I
came upon an
entire
human skeleton.
***
“Hey”, I said to him,
***
“you don’t want this anymore?”

Haha! He must be very flexible 😂

He would’ve made more if he kept his bones and sold his organs.

I once went to a garage sale, and found a unicycle that I wanted very much to buy. But it was overpriced. The retired tightrope artist who ran the garage sale was all skin and bones. I surmised that he was not long for this world. As he hobbled back and forth on the quivering clothesline, I grabbed the line and began swinging it wildly in hopes of instilling the fear of death in the old man so that he would give me a better price on the unicycle. But he was unflappable.

Ride a unicycle and everyone assumes you can juggle, too. That’s just the way it is. Thanks, D.

He’ll have to give you a good price as he doesn’t have a leg to stand on. :D

Wonderful writing, George! Perfectly constructed. I see it all. And fun-nee! What a great find. The woman who found a Jackson Pollock painting in a thrift shop for five bucks could not have laughed louder than I am.
