Goosey In The Sky With Diamonds
Okay, folks, let's kick off the fifteen-sentence game. I’ll provide the first sentence, the next thirteen sentences come from anyone who wants a bit of fun; and the big challenge is for me to wrap it all up with the fifteenth sentence. Have fun ...
I should never have been so impulsive as to put Grandma's antique diamond choker around the neck of one of the geese on our family farm, for the goose, suddenly endowed with magical powers, flew away and never returned.
Second sentence, from Carol in the Isle of Man:
``As if that weren't bad enough, Grandpa (aka Gandolph), had spied me in the act, and he certainly didn't take well to my frittering what was his love-token, so carelessly away. ''
Third sentence, from Bob the Bear in the UK:
Especially as, whilst taking off, the goose had flown straight through the washing on the line, getting Grandpa's best pants hooked up round its foot, so Off they flew together, necklace, pants and Goosey; 'You better have a way to fix this!' Grandpa boomed, as he shook his long pointy stick in the direction of my quivering bottom.
Fourth sentence, from Cecilia in Canada:
Meanwhile, Goosey had landed on a patch of green in the middle of Central Park, felt something quivering inside, and promptly lay a golden egg in full view of park goers!
Fifth sentence, from Cuckoo In India:
“Oh, the diamond choker, my golden egg and Grandpa’s baggy pants, all in the middle of a perplexed crowd ... what a mess, where do I hide now?” groused the Goosey Goo.
Sixth sentence, from Pope Terry in the US:
The goose, unable to make up his mind where to turn, decided the best thing to do was to avoid all attention, as singing `Ave Maria' probably wasn't the best of choices, as now people were pitching coins at the hapless bird.
Seventh sentence, from Victorya in the UK:
All eyes in the park glinted like a spaghetti western and lips began to curl as each person eyed each other in suspicion and defiance as they gauged who would, in fact, get to the egg first.
Eighth sentence from FatHairyBastard in the US:
Goosey took a defensive pose, protecting her egg from the threatening onlookers; she tried to straddle it, but it was moving and the crowd drew closer, as she squawked a warning because they would overpower her easily - however, before they could fight one another for the egg, it began to glow and stand upright; in amazement, they all stood and watched as the egg began to rise into the air and glow brighter and Goosey stood erect, wings outstretched, beak open in amazement; the onlookers could swear they heard singing, but looked around at one another and knew there was no chorus, then, in a flash of light and brilliant sound...
Ninth sentence from Sam in India:
And then the egg burst open to reveal the most beautiful bird one had ever seen, bright as it was as if on fire, with a voice that sang with all the energy of 100 singers ... music filled the air and an ethereal silence engulfed the crowd as the bird flew away, leaving Goosey opened-eyed and wondering how that happened!
Tenth sentence from OzLady in Singapore:
``Now I know why I was dreaming of `The Sound of Music' the night before I laid this egg," thought Goosey, who was also wondering how she was now going to get out of there with the antique diamond choker before the crowd caught on.
