Daily Prompt: Write an entire post without using any three-letter words.
That should read – write an entire post using absolutely no three-letter words. There, that’s better. So…here goes nothing.
Things Bogus Wonder Woman (my latest alias) is wondering about today which will be more or less forgotten by tomorrow:
1. That fellow hitch hiking across Canada wearing Stanfield’s underwear. In November no less. Is he crazy? Raising testicular cancer awareness in this manner sounds seriously chilly. I wonder where he is today.
2. I wonder where half of November went when I wasn’t paying attention.
3. This afterclap word supposedly means an unexpected subsequent event, like a further clap of thunder. However, I think it could also refer to a point in time following venereal disease recovery. Wondering if this definition shouldn’t be added to dictionaries everywhere. Insufficiently motivated to further pursue.
4. Nursery rhymes have become seriously outdated, which means children find them hard to understand. I wonder if this rewrite of Little Miss Muffet would ever catch on.

No? Well alrighty then, moving right along….
5. I wonder what’s being served this evening at dinner time? Should I perhaps be looking into this question more deeply? Instead of wasting time avoiding three-letter words? Word avoidance of a particular length turned into a harder feat than originally anticipated. Although avoiding every letter E would be much worse.
I liked the nursery rhyme.

Not sure it captures the terror aspect of the original but there’s definitely some angst. 🙂

Well done, except for the nursery rhyme. Don’t faff with tradition, Gran. Then again, what were children listening to before those nursery rhymes became a tradition? 🙂

I always wanted to know where Miss Muffet went and what the spider did next – there should be a sequel at the very least.

It’s obvious, Mz Muffet took out the Mortein and sprayed.

Ha! You corrected the prompt– love it, the “any” bothered me too. 🙂 Also, your nursery rhyme was awesome.

Thanks rarasaur – I was also working on an update of Jack and Jill but it did not go well, ending in a few four letter words unsuitable for the nursery. 🙂

Ha! I still want to read them! There’s room in the world for grown up nursery rhymes.

The updated rhyme provided a much needed A.M. chuckle as weather here is rather glum-inducing. Enjoyed the humour produced by the three-letter challenge.

loved the randomness of your post with a spruced up modern Miss Muffet thrown in _ _ _ good measure. avoiding three letter words is hard.
