The Need For a Fix.....in 55

That feeling was coming on again.
That
sense of
anticipation.
The longing. It
had been a long time
since my last fix and
I was shaking. Starting
to feel the intensity of
withdrawal. I knew now
that relief was only
a push away. I
pressed. The
images
flash-
ed.
Ahhhh.
With relief, football season has started.

Very clever 55 Mr. Monkey Man...the shape is a new slant to an old idea! High five for most creative!

Tsk! At least that monkey will climb off your back on his own at the end of the season.

It gets like that over here in the UK too.

Well done 55, even if I dread the football season. My first husband was such a football fanatic that no one around him could do anything right for three days if the local NFL team lost. That's why he became my EX-husband. Not surprisingly, that marriage kinda' left me with a lack of appreciation for the sport. But then, I guess it's better than some addictions.

My Flash 55 for this week is HERE.

Never could find a helmet that fit. I guess that's because i was just being born when Detroit last had a team of note. *shrug*

Hootin Anni said...

Ah ~ football season! I've been relegated to another type of "football" ~ soccer. Huge sport here in Italy and I've just begun to learn the players. Glad you have your "fix".

Hugs,

Chef Kar


My 55 for this week is here.

The word 'football' causes a long and heartfelt groan to emanate from my missus.

She knows that her favourite programs will be pushed aside so that footballers can take over for two or more hours.

Groan, groan, moan, groan....

Oh be quiet woman!

I'm suddenly single during this season. I could go out for hours; nobody would miss me.
