SOLC #17 The Rumor

The Slice of Life March Challenge is hosted by Two Writing Teachers.

It did not take long
To spread through town
Rumors do that you know

One person starts
and the next thing you know

People were talking
People were texting
People were tweeting
People were Facebooking

Was it true?
Could it really be?





That Walmart got 500 new carts!


It doesn't take much to get a small town excited!

    Haha, I love the funny twist at the end. Sometimes I feel that way at my school. Rumors fly so quickly. It doesn't take long before it can get out of hand.

    Small towns are the best and the worst. You're poem shows both. Love the cart pic at the end too!

    I love small towns for just this reason! It's great that new carts at Walmart can be big news! It's so much better than the alternatives that make up the usual facebook/text/tweet rumors! Enjoy those shiny new wheels!

    A much better rumor than what I originally thought when I started reading! Gotta love small towns. I would love to know what a Facebook post about new Walmart carts sounds like :-)

    So, if rumors persist and grow, they should have 1,000 by this time tomorrow. Thanks for the smile.
