The essence of the poem read that activity kept the couple together and when the moment came to unmask and reveal what one has to offer, it went -meh. I actually thought you would say he didn't want to swim in the ocean, meaning he didn't want to go deeper, yet you actually emphasize that he couldn't in a different, sensually clever way. I am impressed. Thank you for your artistry.

    Thanks for a nice review. I am pretty simple when it comes to 'pun-ny' endings.

That definitely made me smile at the end, I loved how you told this in just a few short words and it was definitely a complete story with an unexpected ending. A well written piece. Good luck in the contest.

This one-hundred-word story, Ewe Gotta Pick a Reason, has the proper word count and fetches a pun from the tail-end of this ovine affair. You answer the question of "Wool they or won't they?"

Lol, ummm, uh... Did you know that Ian was actually a baaa-d boy? All his money came from pulling the wool over people's eyes. He'd stuck it out in the pasture for Hailey's sake, but when she broke up with him, he went on the lamb.

(Sorry -- I couldn't resist. LOL!) Best of luck in the contest with this fun entry. :)

An excellent entry for the 100 Word Flash Fiction contest. lol This story really got my GOAT. I thought it was a serious TAIL but EWE really pulled the WOOL over my eyes! It was through SHEAR determination that I read it all the WHEY through. I HERD it was for a contest so I SHEEPISHLY agreed to do a review. But I LAMB really not that invested in it and I just don't give a FLOCK.

Now that that is out of my system....I loved yur story because I am a sucker for puns. Thanks for the chuckle. Well done. Good luck in the contest.

Haha! Lots of great sheep humor including the title. Ian and Hailey had great taste in restaurants and Italian cuisine. Ian made a baaaad decision to go into the ship's swimming pool. Humorous story. Best wishes in the contest.

    Thank you for your great review. There were some other swimming puns I looked at, but this one was the most fun to add onto in an original story.

I knew a guy once who raised sheep and the male sheep were killing themselves. The old boy could never figure out why. One day as he was getting ready to feed them, the nearby radio began playing songs of romance when a male singing voice came blaring his new hit. "THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER YOU."
you DID WELL WITH THIS CONTEST ENTRY. HOPE YOU WIN.

Ewe've got to be kidding. I love sheep. When I see them at the fairs, they always seem so friendly and interested in the people. Cute story. I like the names of the sheep. They really made the rounds. Great ending. It doesn't seem like not liking Ian's baaack stroke a good enough reason to break up, but with sheep you never know. Great idea for the contest, and best of luck!

    Yeah, sheep don't need a woolly deep reason to do what they want to do, and thank you for your super review.
