For this week’s quadrille, we’re
challenged to use the word Quick in
44 words, no more, no less.
It seems my needle stuck.

Ah, the plight of Quinella. Her friends
were quick to listen, and slow to speak,
while Quinella was quick-witted,
quick tempered and quick to judge.
Needing quick action and a quick fix
lest she sink in emotional quicksand,
Quinella asked for help PDQ.*

PDQ - Pretty Darned Quick
A blog for the midnight epiphanies and idle thoughts of a hopeless wordaholic.
I enjoyed your playfulness with the word quick. One has to watch that quicksand though.
ReplyDeleteThis was fun to read. I love the name ‘Quinella’ adding to your quantity of ‘q’’s...and PDQ is a new one for me ... it fits in perfectly...sounds like Quinella will have to quarrel to get what she wants ;)
