Drabble: Convalescence
... I appear to have written tagfic for one of the Man from UNCLE official novels? Something like that, anyway.
dw100 challenge #10 is "jokes". I believe I have cleothemuse to blame for this loose interpretation of the prompt - she was the one who wrote a set of Stargate fics where the team were making limericks in the infirmary, right?
Title: Convalescence
Summary: A peek inside UNCLE's medical section...
Notes: Gen, 100 words. Dialogue drabble - I seem quite fond of those.
“A Thrush walks into a bar--”
“And says ouch? Napoleon, it was not funny yesterday.”
“Darn. Okay, how about--”
“Napoleon, must I spend our entire convalescence listening to your jokes?”
“Have you got any better ideas?"
"No. You have heard all the jokes that I can translate into English."
"Well, what about this? 'There once was a satrap of Thrush
In the wild Australian bush,
Till two smart young men
Named Solo and Kuryakin
Made the whole thing go up with a whoosh!'”
“It doesn't rhyme. And it was a 'boom', not a 'whoosh'.”
“I suppose you can do better?”
