So I said to Herbert Mulroney, my prosperous suitor who is so full of himself:
Of course I decline eternal possession of your brag, and you may wander off temperately. And please spare me a rough good-bye.

The seven words brag, course, decline, eternal, possession, rough, temperate and wander from Café Writing’s April project, option 3 used in terse prose.
wow.. talk about short and well not exactly sweet….. very well done!!

Brilliant Niebla! Using all seven words to write someone off should be published as the 101 way to leave someone!! Excellent!

This piece made me laugh. It was like reading something from the Victorian period or something. Ah, crumpets and tea please!
