Ever since Wilbur had left to find his own way in life, Ed had strived to keep the land safe and cared for. Organic vs Chemical, Free range vs Battery, it was all so different now from those carefree days so many years ago and felt strange.
Retirement suited him though and, in fact, it wasn’t until he got a telegram from his old friend Boxer that he realised just how much the world had actually changed in recent years and how the balance of power had altered in England between the two legs and the four legs…
What a wonderful picture, and what a wonderful chance just to play and be whimsical with an idea. Gotta love this group! 🙂

” How the balance of power had altered in England between the two legs and the four legs…” How true, but not just in England. 🙂
(You have a rebel capital letter here: “and, In fact”.)

Oops! Thank you! 🙂
Capital letters are secretly trying to take over, so you have to be careful. I’m on a mission to eradicate the misuse of them in all church documents which, for some reason, have much more than their fair share of these. 🙂

It’s a conspiracy from on high-I knew it! Lol. 🙂
(Actually, now you mention it, that explains why I can’t understand my daughters texts…)
Great story. I always wondered what happen to Wilbur and Mr. Ed.
Loved this — very clever!!!
I can see you had fun with this one. 🙂
I enjoyed reading your Mr. Ed take even more than I enjoyed writing mine. You just can’t get enough Mr. Ed fan fiction, I say.
Mr Ed had a ‘field day’ with this week’s entrants! Well done.
Fabulous stuff – Animal Farm meets Mr Ed! I love it 🙂 (and why didn’t I think of that???)
It was inevitable that Mr. Ed should surface in so many stories. So sad that Ed had to go on without Wiiiilllllbbberrrrrr. Cute.

I’ve no idea who Wilbur and Ed were but this story is goes a long way to spark the imagination.
They are from an old TV show about a talking horse-Mr Ed!
Makes me wonder just what has happened when I read :”how the balance of power had altered in England between the two legs and the four legs…” Great use of the hundred words!
Needs to be explored- I agree! Animal Farm 2, anybody?!?
I got the reference to Animal Farm (I think, just) but don’t know who Wilbur and Ed are? I got the idea that maybe the animals are running this farm, too?
Heh, they are from an old tv show called Mr. Ed, with Ed being a talking horse. I just mashed the two up!
I’d better find a clip on that there videeyow site and spruce up my education.
A horse is a horse, of course, of course… Loved that show and your story.
Aloha,

Oh what a nice mash up of references. Love it
