Genre Shorties Week 111 A Lovely Bunch of Coconuts

You have just won the Very Odd Lottery™.

Your prize is $1,000,000 dollars, but you must spend it ONLY on items beginning with the letter L.

In up to 100 words, tell me what you buy. Linguini? Labradoodles? Liechtenstein?

(Just remember, as the Beatles taught us, money can't buy you love.)

Wow, I just won the very odd lottery but I can only spend my million dollars on things beginning with the letter “L” and that takes some doing. I bought a Lexus and a lunch for one hundred of my closest friends; I even bought one hundred pounds of lamb for my freezer; but the thing I love the most is my cute little black lab puppy. I’ve got to say that anyone who thinks money can’t buy you love has never owned a lab.

Love those Labs and your lovely tale.

Thank you, David. My son had a beautiful black lab that we all loved but he died at 9 years old from a malady present in all labs!!

I couldn't agree with you more, Patricia. Labs are wonderful dogs. Great write - as always.

That they are, Pam. My son's dog, Jake, was the greatest, a watch dog and a playful pup at 9 years old!!

Now that is the BEST way to buy love -- by giving some back!

I think no one can resist a lab, they are so friendly!! Thanks for stopping by, Tracy.

I think if it was me I would invest in some type of bussiness that would make me more that I could spend it on what ever wanted Lab .for medical testing.
laundry mat, land.

lab like in Menlo Park, eh. I guess you visited Greenfield Village and spent lots of time there dreaming up creative things to do like this tale.

Patricia J. Jun 15, 2012, 8:16am UTC

Thank you, Bill, I haven't been to Greenfield Village in years. But it does make you think creatively!!

Love this story Patti. I think a Lab is a grand idea. Blessings.

My son had a Black Lab named Jake, he was one of the best dogs I have ever seen. He unfortunately died at 9 years old from typical Lab stomach problems!!
