Prompt: Scream

Today's offering isn't strictly a drabble, as defined as a 100 word work of prose. Don't expect this regular-like; I'm certainly no poet.

CleanWhiteTruck

I scream you scream
 the cleanwhitetruck is coming

I scream you scream
 and scream and scream and scream and we can’t stop

You scream I scream
 then we stop to catch our breaths

I scream you scream
 I scream a little louder
 and you slink off sheepishly

I scream you scream
 ‘cause the truck is almost here
  where is my pig-bank?

I scream you scream
 it always ends in screaming

I scream you scream
 someone make the screaming stop
  it’s not stopping
   I said STOP

I scream you scream
 but the cleanwhitetruck is past
  jangling jangling in the distance

Ever thought about recording these?

Planet X Ray, Wash The Bowl, and I do that among many others.
