On Passing King Vertigas
Ferdenzango and his son walked along the path that led to the statue of King Vertigas.
Ferdie, Jr., was always awed by the statue.
“Who was he?” the son asked again for the hundredth time.
“Vertigas was a great king,” father replied, “who suffered years of indignities at the hand of the dark wizard, Messersmertz, who turned him into this stone statue.”
“Tell me again what the worst indignity King Vertigas suffered?” Ferdie’s eyes twinkled as he asked.
“It actually happened after he was turned into this statue.”
“And what was that, father?”
“Learning to live with the bird shit!”

Har Har! Definitely a draw back if turned to stone.
you have to consider these things…
Oh I liked the names you’ve used. And of course…the ending. Hahaha!

When it comes to bird poop, it’s never ending
Awe now I feel sorry for a statue!
Ha.
Dear Randy,
That certainly would be a drawback to being a statue. Glad to see you back here, Randy. 😀 😀
Shalom,
Rochelle
that could be a drawback for anything unless it’s the blue bird of happiness on a birthday cake. .
Too funny, Randy!
thanks.
Randy, Good story with a funny ending. It seems that story’s been told many times before. The poor king having to suffer in life and coming to an undignified end. Good, well-written story. 🙂 —Susan
are there truly any stories that haven’t been told before?
Very funny – you made me laugh out loud 😀
Holding a laugh in can be painful. it’s good you let it out.
See my previous comment (you did it again) 😀
That’s true. My car has learned to live with it too! It ain’t easy.
You have a statue in your car?
Haha! I enjoyed that. Witty ending to a charming story!
