| Graham Greene |
Hello my little expats, and welcome to this week's Word List! This week, our source is a novel that author Graham Greene called one of his "entertainments" in which a vacuum cleaner salesman is somehow drafted as an operative in Cuba and makes his reports based on a volume of Tales From Shakespeare and describes non-existent military installations by modeling them after vacuum cleaner assembly plans.
The book is a hoot and one of my favorites. Greene is better known for his excellent and much more serious novel The End of the Affair among many, many others. This prompt remains current through Sunday.
What we do here is to use at least 3 of the 20 words provided in a new original poem of our own. Then just link up, visit others, and then prowl the bars of Havana while wearing a funny nose and eyeglasses disguise!
And now, your List:
bamboozled
cinema
cold
convent
dogs
experiments
fever
finesse
fling
futile
half-heartedly
Havana
lucid
nowadays
pills
pilots
remedy
slang
volume
waiter
The list had me at bamboozled! Popping by to see all the wonderful things flowing here Shay. I will read some things from other weeks and if my ducks are aligning I will be back.
