‘Make-it-up-Charlie’

Chris Hall42 Comments

The image shows a boy standing next to a Stegosaurus dinosaur in a park.

Charlie
was apt
to make up
stories.
It got
to a point
when no-one
believed anything
he said.
Until one day
we followed him.
Who would have thought it?
Charlie really had
a pet dinosaur.

  15. Amazing how the prompt took many of us in the same direction, yet down differing paths 👀

    (I just found out how to add emoji… though limited on my PC. … Live and learn ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )

      • Depends on what type of (if) PC or operating system you have… I’ve got ‘Windows’ and if you depress the Window key and the period (.) key at the same time a small selection of emoji pop up for your choosing 👀 (ooh) – Just fell on that a couple of days ago!

          • I can’t quite remember how I discovered it… I have a bigger set in my email section. And perhaps not as much either as some on their smart phones. I also know that you are supposed to be able to get to other symbols with depressing the correct key (maybe Alt) with something else like a number to get a symbol …but that only worked on my regular key board not my laptop. Nice to know the ‘hack’ if there is one 🙂
