To hear today’s Story Telling challenge word, "Fitness", is the main reason I have come here today. That, and of course the opportunity to be with my friends, and as always to learn how they might deal with the weekly word-subject.
But first, I must acknowledge the previous week’s referral to the usage of the adjunct “ness,” by a highly revered member of this group. I wonder how the term “gayness” is so cliché and the other word encumbered with that addition. And then to find today’s subject standing proudly with its “ness” hanging out for everyone to address. However, did this come to pass?
Personally, after reading the current title, besides being quite uninspired (as is evidenced herewith) the best I can offer is—“I was fit to be tied.” Is that cheating? Or perhaps, it was neither fit for man or beast.” Note the absence of “ness.”
With due respect for my compatriots’ sincere efforts, I look forward to how you have fittingly risen to this occasion.
Meanwhile, I will obediently find a dark hiding place to fit my “ness’s.”
