Orson brings work home – a meerkat or dog is not enough. The mess lion around is unbearably smelly. His wife, Kitty, went ape.
Orson, no sloth in the bedroom, suggested: “Let’s hiss and snake up. Wear that gnu ze-bra. How about a menagerie-a-trois?”
“I’ll never panda to that!” Kitty roared.
Author Notes
Author's Note:
(Thanks to Joan E for the occupation suggestion.)
"hiss and snake up" = kiss and make up
A 'menagerie' is a collection of captive animals, frequently exotic, kept for display; or the place where such a collection is kept, a precursor to the modern zoological garden. The term was first used in 17th-century France, in reference to the management of household or domestic stock.
A 'menage a trois' is a sexual threesome.
This is the 46th in a series of 50-word hypothetical romantic encounters with men in different jobs.
I hope you get a giggle out of these.
