Have You Ever…EVER?

Have you ever, EVER…?

Literally…or figuratively

Sold ice/refrigerators to eskimos And was it after global warming made it necessary?

Held out an olive branch And why not a maple or and elm…or a larch?

Not been able to see the forest for the trees

Ever said: “Like white on rice” …this is, of course offensive to brown rice

Gone back to the drawing board

Cut corners …and did they cut back?

Speak of the devil

Make a long story short …often a valuable aspect of story telling

Made matters worse

Crossed that bridge when you got to it …which really, is the only logical way to do so

Gotten your act together

Made matters worse

One point per “yes”, except number 4 ( ).

   

About Zaslow Crane

Zaslow Crane wrote his first Science fiction story when he was 11 This was after an uncle had given him a Charmin case full of sci fi paperbacks- all the old masters: A.E.Van Vogt, Cordwainer Smith, Heinlen, Bradbury, and dozens more. After that, he never looked back. Zaslow Crane has contributed to numerous magazines and newspapers over many years, and has been a contributing editor for a national magazine. He has been published a couple hundred times for non fiction. Regarding fiction, he writes primarily SciFi and was one of the creative talents behind Smoke and Mirrors, a parsec nominated podcast that "re-imagined" the Twilight Zone and, which ran for 2 1/2 years. He has written over two hundred short stories, 7 or 8 novellas and two novels, one of which "explains" a great many advancements in human technology. He likes mindless sort of work, because it frees that other part of his brain to work on story ideas, so if you see him, say, digging a ditch, you'll know that he’s really writing. He lives in a tiny house on a hill in Central California. His home overlooks the ocean - IF you're willing to stand on tip toes and crane your neck. Just a bit.
