Microfiction Monday #69

Susan at Stony River challenges us to construct a story/poem around this picture prompt, but in no more than 140 characters.

"Officer - have you seen my Caddoc? Wrinkly. Silly brown hat. I should have met him at 2."
"We lifted him at half past, Mrs.T. For loitering"

(140 characters . . I hope)

    I think this goes to show how unreliable the fairer sex can be, when it comes to telling the time...

    Mrs T should keep better time then Cad wouldn't be so unjustly treated.

    I'm with Jabblog. The poor devoted man was probably there early so as not to be late for his Beloved, thus compounding the offence. But on second thoughts . . . suppose Mrs.T had turned up on time? The pair of them could have been done for soliciting - at their age! Oooerrr!

    Assignations under a clock? What have I walked into here? But thinking about it - could a legally married couple be done for soliciting? I think not, Doctor FTSE...

    Cad - you'd better buy the missus a mobile phone, so's you can gee her up for your next rendezvous if she shilly shallys again. Make sure it has a programmable alarm!

    Jinksy . . depends whether the police give them chance to explain before they start beating them senseless and hurling them into the back of the police van.
