The Jury Will Always Be Out!
Today’s random word is: historian.
With a twist thrown in for your pleasure.
“You’re supposed to be writing about historians.”
“So … what’s a historian then?”
“Somebody who writes down facts about past events.”
“Right then … facts according to his deduction. It’s actually what some poets do, but in a much more entertaining way.
“Take Robert Burns … how can he not be seen as both poet and historian? Read Tam O’Shanter to get a clear idea of history.”
“An idea, but not a truth.”
“Neglected women while men got drunk?”
“Oright … history about some things never changing.”
Historians write
‘Bout times consigned to the past
Each takes their own slant
If you’re not already on board with writing drabbles, (short, 100-word stories, no more, no less,) do yourself a favour. Get stuck in! They are a lot of fun to write, but also serve as a lesson in tight writing, given the 100-word constraint.
