Sitting on the park bench…
Those were supposed to be lyrics in a song. How did he go from being the guy who strummed his guitar to Aqualung, to actually become the old man, he wondered.
The words run through his head.
Sitting on a park bench… Drying in the cold sun… Feeling like a dead duck… Leg hurting bad…
Damn Jethro Tull. Those guys sure could tell the future!
Sitting on the park bench… Eyeing little girls…
At least it wasn’t with bad intent, he laughed to himself, as two little tornadoes charged towards him, their screams interrupting his crazy thoughts.
‘Grandpaaaaa…’
The challenge of Sunday Photo Fiction of June 17th was to write short fiction based on a photo by Susan Spaulding.
The first thing that I thought of was the song Aqualung by Jethro Tull. My apologies to Tull and all his fans (of which I am one) for this corny writing 🙂
Awww, lovely ending 🙂

That took me way back. I had to listen to the song again. I’m glad you ended it as you did. Well done!
