Dawgone.
The frequency with which Fred admired his reflection in the shop windows as he minced down Main Street, caused him to collide with a corpulent cop who, fearing a fray, fired on Fred but instead poleaxed a passing pedestrian's Pekinese.

The image is my own and is dedicated to @janton who is the only person ever to appreciate my artistic genius
The prompt this week is Frequency
Aw, another innocent dog bites the dust. He should have been peeing to add to the "P's." ("poleaxed a passing pedestrian's Pekinese.") Try saying that 3 times fast. Happy St. Patrick's Day partner! (2 more P's) : )
Hahaha, sorry about that but at least I didn't inflict upon him the ignominy of death whilst relieving himself. Now that would be just plain cruel.
HaHa! You have a good point.
Wow, you have the skills. :) congratulations on your win!

I didn't win but perhaps, based on the number of people who thought I did, I can lodge an appeal ;)
The illiteration is soaking off this one . Deirdy you write words that I’ve never heard of !
I hail from the second half of the 20th century. We had a lot more words back then;) And although I abhor affectation, I absolutely adore alliteration;)
Poleaxed great! and corpulent ! Two words of the day steeped in one cup of eccentricitea...

Perhaps more antiquity than eccentricity, though maybe the clue is in the user name;)
I appreciate your 'artistic genius' too Deirdy... It almost surpasses my own :>0
Aw shucks, thanks sweetie. I appreciate your appreciation. Now that I have 2 fans I may post only my drawings in the future. What need for words when my art can say so much more?
:) !!!! great !
Thank you very kindly. I'm quite overwhelmed to merit five exclamation marks;)
:D !!!
lol! yes, finally another rare and classic drawing from the gifted hand of deirdyweirdy! yay! You've been witholding your masterpieces from us for too long so this is indeed a special day. lol. The writing is great but I must say the truly mind-blowing part of this post is the artwork! Well done deirdyweirdy, this fine work of art is definitely worthy of a gold-plated frame!
Thanks Mr. J. I'm delighted to hear you're framing my artwork and in gold-plated frames at that. I hope it's not costing you too much but you know they'll be worth a fortune as soon as others recognise my genius.
haha! yes Ma'am I think it's the best investment I've seen since I got on steemit! lol.
I can see the genius. This is great. congrats on the win
I didn't win but you did so congrats on that. I'm not sure I like all this competition though;)
hahaha! I think maybe I got my weeks mixed up? did you win last week? The one about the dog with all the alliteration?
No, my shaggy dog story failed to hit the mark, but I did win 2 weeks ago. Actually, I used to win a lot in the early days.........when I was the only entrant;)
I am definitely going to have to spend more time over at your place

Hi partner! I overslept! I am on top this week. See ya in the freewrite zone!
Hi sweetie, I nearly got caught on the hop again myself. C U in the zone and btw, congrats on your zapfic win. Very annoying;)
Hi babe! I wish the clocks wouldn't have to be changed. You are still lagging from that? I only had 2 hours of sleep and when my eyes got heavy, I laid down to rest them. Thankfully I remembered to set the alarm clock. The next thing I know, the alarm was blaring and I slept way past the time that I had set. It was blaring for 45 minutes and I didn't hear it! Crazy. And no, I am not hard of hearing. : )
Thanks for the congrats on the ZapFic win that I barely won. I am having so much fun writing the stories. And I am happy to annoy you in that way. LOL! Your turn to win next. : )
Until the end of this month, the prompts are posted at 2 pm my time instead of 3 as the USA has moved to daylight saving time and Ireland doesn't mess with the clocks until 30th March.
I heard recently that it's being abolished here in 2021 and I'll be delighted to get rid of it.
Good luck in this week's zapfic contest, but watch your back;)
HaHa! Let the games begin! : )
