Chipping Away

PHOTO PROMPT © Ted Strutz

He had always been the one for parties.

With his crisp looks he was a chip of the old block and a very popular one too despite his chequered background. There even had been talk of him being assaulted but that was just rumours spread by people trying to bag him.

He never blamed them, in fact he even defended them but that was due to his habit of playing the Devil’s Avocado. There was never a dip in his fortunes and he always had a cracker of a time.

Now the party is over and only the crumbs remain.

    Dear Subroto,

    You know that a pun is the lowest form of pastry. Personally, I like my burgers on gluten free puns. Holy Guacamole! Devil's Avocado made me laugh out loud. :D
    Shalom,

    Rochelle

      Thanks Björn. I can't really claim credit - that pun has been around since the beginning of thyme.
