Reduction

(5 stories)

I was hanging up a big fish
Some work that I produced
But standing in this fireplace
I was feeling quite reduced… https://t.co/XjMu2JfWQZ

Darn time zones, it’s the eleventh hour & I still have to finish today’s #130story; I must reduce my flights of fancy to this sentence.

#130story

Manual felt sick
Stench of fresh blood
Was becoming
Repugnant

Threw it all in
Manual the matador
Had made himself
Redundant

After doom and gloom
Talk of reduction
In production
At last some praise
Ray got a raise
Excited by the surpriser
Ray got a riser.

Start with a bang
Get every word on the page
Then cut, cut and cut some more
Strip back the information
To the irreducible core
