Mars

On bended elbow it crawled toward me as
I beseeched for mercy. Cowered behind the towering shallows
lest it could read my mind.
Testing willpower to its limits, it played games… The dirty kind.
‘Resistance is futile.’ Its voice did say.
‘Why?’ asked I.
“Because… a Mars a day helps you work, rest and play.’

A bit tongue in cheek, but a fun one for:
dVerse #Meeting the Bar
G-Man’s Friday Flash 55

Love the idea of including an advertisement jingle in a scifi drama!
Sweet
I always love a twist.
lovely dialogue,
enjoyed your 55.
Ha! Nice work. Loved this. xD
haha..nice…thanks for the smile…and now i wanna have a mars bar…smiles
Fun.
Still, I love cowering…. lest it read my mind. Makes me think of Andre Norton, don’t know why.
“Sweet”
They do call at the oddest times dont they?

Mars – my favourite bar! LOL
Can’t argue with that! Great stuff!
Enjoyed that – and the bar, too.
You got me on that one!
lol – I loved it! It was sweeeet
A Mars a Day…much better than a apple! Nice image by the way!
What a fun take on the prompt! Those Mars bars can be awfully demanding.
I love it!
That’s funny and you knew you were playing into Sam’s hand – he already said those Mars bars are his fave! Well done.

Delicious 55 My Friend
You really Launched one this time
Thanks for playing, and have a
Kick Ass Week-End
This is EXTREMELY clever. I had no idea what to do with the prompt, thus did nothing. LOL. Your idea was a great one.
Anything chocolate does that to me, too. Loved this!
LOL such fun the verse you spun. Might want to add an apple to, then it will just be the dentist you’ll have to ward off from all the mars bars that come due.
Laugh-out-loud, fun read!
Charmingly, playfully delicious!
HA! Great one! I can so relate…for me it’s either a Baby Ruth or a Payday!
I would like to catch this..ha.ha…
Happy FF55 ~
Ha ha very funny…
LOL
This is my favorite line:
“Testing willpower to its limits, it played games… The dirty kind.”

OH, I love it! and now am craving a candy bar:)
