When You Have Lemons

You don’t always make lemonade.

You have two weeks to complete the latest story challenge so I thought I’d go for a bumper one. Can you tell a story in 100 words using the following words in it somewhere: ✅

  • EXPIRE
  • SQUINT
  • CULT
  • LEMON
  • GRANDPA
  • STAMPEDE
  • HELICOPTER
  • MARKET
  • POMPOM
  • WOOF

Blue Oyster Cult opened at Market Square Arena. They arrived in a helicopter to avoid the stampede of fans at the stage entrance. This was the first concert I took my grandpa to and he had to squint to see a poodle waving pompoms and hear her woof on stage before the music began.

I should have checked on when the 714 lemon expired before eating it. As I sat there watching the stage slowly spin in circles with a mind bending light show I came back to reality watching the best concert of my life. YES in the round. [100]

  2. I’ve never seen either of those bands if you can believe it, but I do LOVE both of them. I bet YES was incredible!
    I’ve been to SO many concerts I can’t choose, however, I remember seeing Bob Segar with my hubby and his best friend and I didn’t even want to go. I cried like a baby! He was soooo good I felt like I was at the Beatles or something.

    1. Bob rocks the house too. I’ve seen YES about 4/5 times in my younger years, I loved Chris Squire’s rendition of Amazing Grace which he closed every concert with.
