We are invited to write a short, short story in 140 characters or less (including punctuation and spacing) in response to a picture prompt.
Here is my take on this picture:
Will you get your glasses fixed, you old sea dog? This is no treasure chest, and that pile of seaweed over there is no mermaid seducing you.

I can relate to trying to see without my glasses.
I swear they are making every sheet of directions smaller. :)
Maybe not.
Loved your MF, as I said so relatable.
I'm glad you're back!!!
I too can relate to not seeing things without my reading glasses on. Well written.
Thanks for the visits and comments.

He's bumming right about now. Cute one! :O)

Really Great this week, S. Mom!
I think he likes it! Suppose these things are similar in nature to mirages the desert people have. It sure beats buying new glasses.

Congrats on the Second Year Anniversary!
And hope the job looking will be rewarding for hubby.
Oh yes, I like your Cezanne! I like Cezanne too because we have visited Povence, France, and around where the impressionists were living and painting.

Only a treasure chest, if he needs to wash, which could certainly be the case here. :)
Thanks for the Monday smile.
I can relate to this, Kelly :)
Had to laugh when his mermaid bubble was burst! Good one S.Mom and congratulations on your 2nd blogging anniversary!

I am always misplacing my glasses! thanks-
Wow, I felt like that's what they were actually saying to each other!
I think you captured the words within the picture perfectly!! :)
hahahaha!! Quite funny. ;)
That's really funny!
It does look like one of the men is scolding the other. Too bad his glasses went down with the ship-LOL!
Oops forgot to add this-your back!
Great one this!
Have a good week.
Aww and all that time he thought he was going to be rich and have his own girlfriend ;-)
This is a wonderful story!! Such a delight and so clever!!
:)
Hilarious Kelly! I hope your hard work pays off soon! Thinking about you and sending you lots of fruitful positive thoughts and hugs!!
Good one! I think a lot of us can empathize with the eyesight problem as we age....
A mermaid seducing him, and it turns out to be seaweed. Poor ol' fella. LOL

Perfect marriage of picture and writing. Hope the job hunting is going good ... it has been a long time I know.
Well, that told him good and proper!
He soooooo needs glasses, and a little less drink!
