It’s time for today’s second Song Title Challenge.
After my call last week for some Christmassy songs I got three suggestions. I decided that today, just because it’s almost Christmas, I’m going to treat you with all three. That’s right, three stories based on Christmas-related songs in one day. You’re welcome.
Write a short piece of fiction, around 300 words, using the song title as your story title but don’t listen to the song. You can pick your own genre or use the one suggested to me. Remember to link back to this post so I can find yours.
If you would like to suggest a song title for a future post, you can do so from the challenge page. You can also leave a suggestion on the Facebook page.
Today’s second song is Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo by South Park. The genre, as suggested by bumblepuppies, is historic fiction. I think he’s trying to bamboozle me, but with a bit of inspiration from the inestimable P.G. Wodehouse I think I managed to pull this off (though I will admit to exceeding the word count a little). Once again I managed to hit fairly close to home as far as concerns the contents of the song. I promise I didn’t listen to it before writing the story.
Oh, and I won’t be posting the hilarious but deeply disturbing song here – some of my relatives read this blog – but you’re welcome to go google it at own risk.
