Thank you Jim! My 14 word poem was composed right after I was looking for my phone. I was trying to figure out how to use Find my Phone on my watch. But I didn’t have my glasses on. I finally figured it out and the damn phone started squawking. It was on the floor so I picked it up and I couldn’t figure out how to turn it off. And I couldn’t figure out how to stop the watch from doing it. When I finally did I read your post!
I realized this may sound odd but I have a personal phone that is connected with my watch and my business phone which isn’t. Hence the extra steps to find it!
"Twice? Only twice? " ( Man, that's harsh.) "Let's play scrabble instead" (Sounds like something the Big Lebowski would suggest. ) You keep working with Quinny. That dog has an ear! She helps you edit and works for kibble. You gotta like that. You crack me up.
I like it too. Very clever. Looks like you have a new fan. Smart girl. I recommended All Day Long to the Substack Team this morning. Let me know if they decide to give you a little notice! Never know.
Thank you Clara. Yes you should give it a try. I hope you will share it here! And remember, when you only have 14 words, contractions are your best friend.
Thank you for the shout out Clara!
I've got one. Let me know if Quinn likes it!:
Got a cigarette?
Buy some.
Just one. I'm killing myself after that.
Nice try.
That's hilarious!!
Big wags from Quinny!
And thanks for re-stacking yesterday.
Glad you and Quinn like it!
They're very fun to write, I think I might be addicted to it now. And you were right, contractions really are the best friend.
No worries, I want everybody to know your substack!!
You should write more of them. Your very first one was a winner!
I appreciate your support Clara. I'm coming up on six months here and looking for more subscribers like you.
I'm on it, I might even post some of them.
It's my pleasure, really. I enjoy what you write a great deal.
Cool!
Nice rendering!
Quinn looks cool.
I like your 14 worders.
Guess I'll try one.
Haha, thanks. Yeah, give it a shot. It's a fun exercise.
Darned cute, if you ask me!
Hold on, gotta check my calendar. Where’s my phone? Doh! Holding my damn phone.
You just got many wags of approval, Shielagh. (And a big smile from Quinny's dad.)
Thank you for that.

Haha, I can identify, both with the glasses and the confounding technology!

I just call my grandson when I can't figure out the tech. At least you can do it yourself!

The Dude abides. One of my all time favorites.
Quinny does have a good ear. She loved the one that Clara posted this morning in the comments. Check it out!

Thanks, dear. That's very nice of you. I'll let you know.
My fav: If mom was here, she’d clean this place. Pretty fancy for a dead person.
And scrabble.
Wonder if Quinn wagged hard for those ... :)
You have great taste Victor. Those were Quinny's favorites too.
Glad to have you here. Thanks man.
These were a very nice pick-me-up this morning. Quinn has good taste - Love your slant on some commonly used phrases
Thanks Dan! Quinn misses seeing you.
I love these! and I love your sense of humor.
I'm gonna have to try my hand at 14 word stories.
Thank you Clara. Yes you should give it a try. I hope you will share it here! And remember, when you only have 14 words, contractions are your best friend.
I love these stories but even more I am in love with Quinny. Great drawing!
Thank you Terry. She's such a good girl.
😃
Here is my 14-word contribution. I hope it makes sense.
FREE STUFF:
•Mailbox. Doesn’t work. It’s always empty.
•Telephone. Needs refurbishing. It never rings.
Haha, awesome! I may compile these contributions in a separate post If I get enough of them.
In think this makes three? Gotta get at least 8 or 10.
