Pop Star

Singer/songwriter Taste D. Flabb is the latest music sensation. He’s popular because he wrote songs like “Love to Make Yellow Puddles” and “My Hog.”

Not only that, but he dresses cool, too. He wears only socks, suspenders, and ankle weights. He has 3 hamburger tattoos on his face and a big picture of Santa tattooed on his abdomen.

What really makes people like him is his philosophy.

“Never ever use toilet paper” is what he tells all his fans when they ask for advice.

One time, a fan asked him if it’s ok to go up to a really huge bear, drop a brick on its foot, and then rub sandpaper across its eyes.

“Yes,” he said.

Here’s an impromptu writing prompt. I dare you to write the lyrics to “Love to Make Yellow Puddles” or “My Hog.” Whether or not you choose to accept this challenge, it would be awesome if you left a comment. See if you can make it longer than the story itself. And make sure to type really slowly. That way, I get paid for your hard work. Capitalism!
