#vss365 "Great #Oak from little acorn grew," said the Birch.
The other trees nodded in the wind.
"I'm going to hollow out your insides & live inside you," said a Squirrel.
The other trees watched it in horror.
"Get this psycho Hamster away from me!" cried the Oak.
"Can't! We're rooted to the spot!"

#vss365 Marty opened the #umbrella indoors.
"Are you insane?" screeched Phoebe. "That's a bad omen!"
Marty scoffed as he opened & closed it a few more times to annoy her.
Phoebe glared at him. "On your own head be it."
Later on, Marty left the house. Something plopped on his head. A Pigeon cooed.

#vss365 "Good Evening, I am Gregor your Waiter," said the smartly-dressed man. "May I ask what you would like to order?"
Stephanie smiled. "I would like the Rocket Salad please."
"I am afraid we are just out of #rockets, Madam. Would shuttles suffice?"
Stephanie stared at him.

#vss365 A #crisscross wire fence surrounded the perimeter.
"What's in there?" asked Alan.
"Danger, apparently," said Gerry. "And Keep Out."
"Ooo! Aren't those new brands of candy bar?"
"I think so."
They climbed over the fence.
ZAP!
Death appeared. "There's a trespassing fine of €200. Pay up."
"..."

#vss365 "What day is it?" asked Jordan.
"Sunday," replied Harriett. "Why?"
"What year is it?"
"2025. Why?"
"Oh my gosh! I've been down a #rabbit_hole for 5 months?!"
"What were you doing down there?"
"A metaphorical one. I googled: 'Why is the sky blue?'
"You didn't stand a chance."

#vss365 "Have you seen my pet Mr. #Slithy?" asked Janice.
"What type of creature is he?" probed Dave.
"A Basilisk."
"A Bas- you mean the giant snake with the eyes that turn you to stone?"
"No, the small ones that breathe fire and spit poison."
"Oh. Because that's not as bad. Drat! Something bit me."

I've played the #fool

Used the wrong end of tools
And followed all the rules
However you got where you're going
