Flash Fiction

By Sis Unsworth

Mary was a reader, and loved to spend her time,

with articles, haiku, and very often rhyme.

Mostly she loved Flash fiction, she read it when she could,

it helped keep her brain active, and made her feel so good.

Novels were too long for her, she couldn’t concentrate,

to find out how it ended, Mary couldn’t wait.

Flash fiction was the answer, it suited her just fine,

she’d read one in the checkout queue, when she was last in line.

A journey never bored her, she never made a fuss,

and always had one with her, when riding on the bus.

She took them to the doctors, in case she had to wait,

they always come in handy, when her takeaway was late.

But her favourite time to read, was when the clock struck nine,

when she could read Flash fiction, with a very large red wine.
