Stagnating by @Roccoco_a_GoGo

TJ Paris was ‘Stag’nating until he went ‘pun’ny with this one.

Life is too short to drink bad wine

Where the deer roam free

Far from the noisy city

It’s Monday and Ronovan writes has thrown out a difficult coupling  – stag and noise.

Ronovan writes promts this week are free and think. A lovely pairing indeed!
