and The American Sandwich game
Inspiration from Linda at
Totally Optional Prompts
How to play The American Sandwich game:
Write a piece of flash fiction in just three American Sentences.
Allen Ginsberg's American Sentence has seventeen syllables. Write a piece of flash fiction in just three American Sentences.
Your task is to use as few words as possible to fill the sandwich.
RYTHM STICK
Hit me with a feather, not the one that's tied to the end of your string.
Not one that's heavier than the final straw that broke the Camel's back.
Hit me with your rythm stick, and I'll write poetry for you that rhymes.

Hi Tony, I thought you'd remember The Blockheads! , yeah RIP Ian Dury!
I like the progression from feather to string to straw to rhythm stick to rhyme. Very clever. I remember Ian Drury singing 'Hit me with your rhythm stick' too.
