It is the final Thursday of 2021 and time for the last five-word story challenge of the year from Esther Chilton.
This is an open invitation to all of my followers and Esther’s to have some fun with words.
Today, Esther’s challenge to you is to tell a story in five words, using the word BUSH in it somewhere.

As this is my last day in the saddle before handing the reins of these challenges back their rightful owner, I have taken the liberty of giving you eight starters, the first three of which mention my Dad, Bony Tony.
Bony Tony loved Millbush Farm
Bony Tony hid in bush
Bony Tony supped Bushmills whiskey
Silkworms beautify delicious mulberry bush
Lushest bush yields juiciest fruits
Moses ignited the burning bush
Shimmering gossamer envelopes curvaceous bush
Graphite bushes provide self-lubricated contacts
There may be more to come from me on this post as the week, and the year, rolls on.
Please post your submissions in the Comments on this post.
The hush came from Bush
Azalea bush is now flowering
That bush is a beard!
Autumn colours on the bush

Bus collided with a bush
Find the biggest bush here
Herr Bush is a Bavarian
Busy Bush full of bees

I wouldn’t miss them for the world. they will be two of the highlights of my week.
Be warned that I may soon submit another poem for your ‘A Poem for Friday’ spot or anything else that I think might be suitable for a feature on your blog. I loved it when you featured ‘Wearing Silk’.
