Sunday Photo Fiction– up to 200 words based on a photo.
Note: my apologies for the attempt at a London accent– doubtless I am way off.
“The wogs begin at Calais” I think sums up this bird’s attitude….

…Read the sign, fool…that’s right, keep off the grass…betcha he can’t even read English, the frog…them French is the worst, unless’n you count the Germans…bloody daft buggers, just cause they make cars that never break down, think they own the bleedin’ world, they do…Hey! Can’tcha read, sweetheart? Yeah, that’s it, back on the walk, Jesu, the people they let in this place… Tower used to mean something, by God, used to strike fear in a bugger’s guts to be dragged in here. Execution Block, right over there, that’s where that prissy Annie Bullen got hers, by the Rood….OFF THE GRASS! Jesu, that one’s old enough to bloody well know better, with his stupid walker…if they started up chopping people again, maybe with the odd drawin’ an’ quarterin’ thrown in, then you’d see the buggers toe the line… IT SAYS KEEP OFF THE GRASS! Whaddah I have to do, caw right in your stupid hearing aid? Standards have gone downhill, and no mistake…getting so a raven can’t just uphold the sanctity of ole England, we gotta put up with this lot…no standards at all…OFF…THE…GRASS!!!! Oh, an American, doesn’t that make bloody sense, should have never granted them independence….
Them bloomin’ frogs think they own the bloody world. LOL I love the idea of the raven telling everyone off.
Thanks. The raven in the photo just made me think of an old codger who’s certain things aren’t the way they used to be when he was a chick.
Good one enjoyed this take on the photo, welll done.
Thank you.
This was so funny. I can’t stop laughing. We are going to be visiting England this year and if there is a Raven near the Tower, I will break into spontaneous laughter and my family won’t know why. 🙂
Thanks, that’s one of the best compliments I’ve had lately!
I could just picture that. Snickering madly earnt me strange looks.
Hope I didn’t get you in trouble or anything– thanks for reading.
Love the monologue in this. Bloody funny if you ask me!
Thanks.
Loved it – plenty of laughs and I had the raven’s voice in my head early.
Thanks, glad you liked it.
This definitely made me smile, quite a feat for Monday morning!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
That’s fantastic, Really had me laughing out loud. His accent was brilliant and insulting everyone. Whenever I see this photo or one of the others from the tower I am going to think of that 😀
Thanks– I was worried about the accent. Glad you enjoyed it.
Good story.
