The Rule of Three is a writing principle that asserts that, in writing, groups of three have the most impact. This week’s challenge is to write 33 words using the Rule of Three somewhere among them. It is up to you to interpret the rule, just make sure to use exactly 33 words.
I thought about this and while reading the Wikipedia article, noticed there were stories/tales with 3 characters used as examples. So I thought up my own fantabulous trio that you may notice from time to time. I present to your voting selfs – “A Tale of Three Forks”.
_______________________
Skinny fork claimed, “salads start every meal perfectly.”
Heavy fork bragged, “I’m the main attraction!”
Dainty fork boasted, “I’ll satisfy every sweet tooth.”
Spoon, Plate & Knife agreed – “Get the forks outta here!”

YOHO!! Anything with an F-Bomb or variant gets my bronx cheer of approval. (It’s my favorite word, ya know)
fork yeah! Thanks!
I am trying to switch to the variant. Goes over better at work.
How great! I love this.
Very clever and very fun to read!
I appreciate it! Thanks for stoppin by!
Amazingly fun!!
Thank you!
Perfect. 🙂
Thanks! I have your vote? 😉
It’s community vote? I didn’t even see that. Sure!
A pun with the f-word. I’m in heaven. Great take on the prompt.
Forkin’ A!
😉
Heh. That is the perfect cap line.
thanks!

Fun with a teensy, clever groan at the end! Liked it. Madame Weebles had the best comment, there… Thanks, Amy

Very funny, very clever!
Thanks for stopping by!
your humor and cleverness make me come back every post. Forking good 33.
I’ll keep my wits sharpened 😉
That was forking amazing! Sound like something my hubs would come up with. He likes to drop “fork” bombs all the time in place of the real deal. Gets the double take every time…Hahaha!
yes I will work more on switching to that myself !
Thanks for reading/commenting.
This was awesome! I read it at work today and laughed out loud (co-workers thought I was nuts before, now they know it :))
So clever! Or should I say Forkin’ Clever? hehe.
Badda Bing! Bravo Braintomahawk! I love it when eating utensils have a life! 😀

I am so glad to see someone else who likes to fork around on his blog!!!! Randy
Three forks up! on the piece .
It does bother some people , but you know what they say. Fork ’em if they cant take a joke!
Ha. I forkin’ agree.
Really, really well done. You have the three forks and cleverly echoed the three with the spoon, plate and knife(!) and finished with a joke 🙂
Wish I could train my mouth to use “fork” instead. Oh, so clever!
Yeah it is an effort. I am trying – safer for work and all 🙂
Thanks for the visit to my blog. Your time is very much appreciated! 😀
It is time well spent!
