Born to be Wild



I dunno,  for some reason when I rode with the Hell's Angels, I didn't quite get the respect I was hoping for.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 Couldn't be shorter, couldn't be sweeter and like a true nature's child, I brought her in at 22 words, meaning I've got 78 words credit on a verbose post in the near future. 

When you're ready to head out on the highway looking for adventure, click the link below to find a thundering herd of takes on the above prompt by the other hard ridin' Fabulous Friday Fictioneers. 

 Did you know I was  Born, Born to be Wild?  

 Neither did I.

    Fire all of your guns at once and explode into spaaaaaaace. Brevity is the soul of wit. Nice one Perry. Much in few words.
    Shalom,
    Rochelle

      I had to bring her in quickly with 50 Hell's Angels chasing me off the road! Help!

    Once you've said all that needs to be said, you stop. You did and you did. Since Rochelle already stole "brevity is the soul of wit", I'll stop also.

      Yes, of course the photo doesn't clearly show the image of my true souped-up Harley with the chicks on the back! I guess the camera adds ten pounds and removes chicks and soup-ups ...

    You fooled me, Perry. All this time I thought you were Born to be Mild.

      Compared to me, the late Mr. Dangerfield was treated like Walter Cronkite!

    A very excellent one-liner. I didn't know we were allowed to accrue words...I might do the same next week.

      I don't know if it fits the ground rules, but I'm doing it until Rochelle yells foul.

    You're a very funny man! I'll be watching over the coming weeks to see what you do with those 78 words you've stashed away!

    I think you'd get all the respect, riding around in a thing like that, although it might have trouble keeping up on the highway. :)

      That's the problem. It had most of the trouble getting me out of the driveway. Thanks for writing!
