Grandma's Goulash graciously hosts Succinctly Yours, the wonderful meme for those of us addicted to microfiction. The trick is to write a story in 140 characters or less using the photo below as inspiration. To add to the challenge is the word of the week, "drift." My stories are below.

Chef training at the Hokey Pokey Café entails putting one’s right foot in and shaking it all around, because that’s what it’s all about.

Poor Jim was destined to drift from job to job. He just couldn’t understand why he got fired every time a boss told him to “shake a leg.”

The Hokey Pokey Cafe? You folks in the south must put a little something special in your coffee ;)
Entertaining, as usual.
Lisa, your mind never stops coming up with FUNNY.
Hokey-coking cooks - love it!
Loved them both Lisa, especially the first one! LOL
I'm not surprised in the least that, once again, you are my Succinctly Yours hero! *motions to assistant (Yes, I have an assistant. Doesn't everyone???) to hand over yummy SY trophy, then prestigiously delivers it to Miss Lisa* CONGRATULATIONS! Enjoy your PRIZE! (Not too worry. No meatballs were captured, kicked and coated during the making of this award.)
P.S. Or were they??? Muah ha ha ha ha!
Enjoyed both but the first was classic :-)
I love them both and I'm still laughing. You and Grandma are co-Queens of Succinctly Yours today.
When I sub in kindergarten, the HP is always my favorite dance...we all get really goofy and the kids just crack up.
Extremely literal people--gotta love 'em.
Love these! Great job, Lisa! :)
Ha ha both of those were funny! ^_^
LOL, he could also be doing the Monster Mash potato. :)

"Shake a leg" had me ROFL. Bosses are so hard to please. lol
I do hope Jim shakes his way over to the Hokey Pokey Cafe. He's a natural for their staff!
Very funny!
:)
OMG you are the best! As always! LOVE these. Cracking me up.
Thank you, everyone. Your lovely comments keep me microfiction-ing. :)
Aww poor Jim!
I'm sorry I got to this so late in the week, because it would have made my day Monday. That leg wasn't all that shook. When I laugh with my hand on the mouse, the whole screen shakes!
