Three Word Thursday #55
It is that time of the week. One I look forward to a great deal. And by the way Quilly, mahalo for hosting Three Word Thursday. It’s a blast and I can’t tell you how much I enjoy it. Each week Quilly at Quintessentially Quilly gives us three words to compose a story. You can get further instructions here or you can click the picture above.
jeremiad, a prolonged lamentation or complaint; also a cautionary or angry harangue
panjandrum, a powerful personage or pretentious official
Going up on stage and taking the microphone Philip, speaking with fatuity, said “I am the man. You are the subjects. I hereby order you to vote for me for your class President.”
The crowd in the auditorium did not take these words well. Helen, commanding an audience every time she spoke, retorted “You order us! We are subjects! Who do you think you are?” The words echoed in the hall as almost everyone began chanting a jeremiad “WE ARE NOT YOUR SUBJECTS”.
“I am the man. You are the subjects. I hereby order you to vote for me for your class President” Philip responded.
Hearing those words again, Helen went up the stage, gabbed the microphone out of Philips hand and in her typical panjandrum fashion said “I am woman. Hear me roar.”
Philip got one vote in the election. Helen won by a landslide and later became a famous recording artist.
Have a great Three Word Thursday
Hey, it’s only my opinion.
A Hui Hou
OMG who voted for that guy?

Invincible, that Helen.
So true
Something tells me Helen has heard it all before! LOL!
Love the story, Thom. You’re rewriting history!
LOL..ya think? LOL Well just so long as Helen doesn’t know LOL Oh crap who cares if she finds out. My way seems to be more interesting
LOL
where could i borrow the electorate? we have the most outrageous referendum ever coming this weekend and could use some common sense (which, i’m afraid, we as a nation do not possess… grrrrr)
I don’t know but when you find an electorate with common sense let me know. We lack that a great deal here in the US
We lack them here, too. Philip sounds familiar. Sigh. Great 3WT. Have a wonderful weekend. xoxoxo
It seems to be a common problem LOL
Glad you enjoyed
