And oops sorry everybody. I goofed up and spent a long time writing a poem or two with next week's prompt: Cry wolf. Luckily I realised this the second before hitting "Publish", but for this reason only a not so elaborate poem this time around.
Jumping the gun,
It sure can be fun
But if you're found out
You're in for some pout,
From people who find you're a lout.
Jumping the gun
should not be done
Play fair and be nice
Don't load your dice
Don't hide the game piece.
Juming the gun
Is not worth the tonne
Of ill will and nay
that's coming your way
if you do foul play.
Hmm, this turned out rather moralistic. I cannot do any better today, but I hope to get more done in the week ahead.

Next week, as already announced: Cry Wolf.
Promts for December coming up soon.

Smiling. Sometimes jumping the gun - like getting preparation done early - is good. Often it is not.
SvarSletOh, jumping the gun can be used in a positive sense too? Thank you, I knew the negative one only :D
SletIt's a fine line, isn't it. I enjoyed your poem.
SvarSletIt sure is - the Danish equivalent is only negative, and mostly for soprts. Thank you.
SletI used to "jump the gun" with Christmas gifts when the kids were young, I'd have things bought and wrapped long before December.
SvarSletSo did I, but then I hid away the gifts from prying eyes and fingers. And then I never found them again ;) My record is finding a hidden Christmas gift in the middle of June!
SletVery good
SvarSletThank you!
