Tough Stuff-- That Fluff

Sally got a spot on “Survivor” island Short, thin and blonde, men regarded her as “fluff” What they didn’t see was her will to beat them She was determined to prove she had the stuff Standing first in line to dive off a high cliff And land without harm in deep water below One man joked, “Best be careful, Miss Sally Fluff” Muscle-laden big guys thought they ran the show Sally glared and whispered, “I’m gonna teach you” Somersaulting in air, landing perfectly Then among all the men apprehension grew Biggest lug of all started to feel sickly It was Jason’s turn to dive; he felt dizzy The drop seemed so far to where Sally waded “Go ahead and dive,” Sal yelled, “it was easy” Tables had turned as Sal goaded and baited Jason turned and ran back to his team’s tepee Then all the men fled; this challenge looked too rough For the first time in Survivor history The prize was won by a gal they’d called “fluff” *Entry for Carol Brown’s “Fluff” contest

What a gal, Fluff. Jason is a wimp, but he probably is muscle bound and does not have the balance that Sal has. Personally, I am scared to death of high places, but then I am a wimp. Luck in the contest. Love, daver

Most amusing Mrs. Carolyn. Chuckled throughout, an excellent entry for the fluff contest. Do not judge a book by its cover comes to mind, and the fire of a spirit can overcome the frailty of body any day. Well done, good luck in the contest!
