CCC41
Welcome to my weekly challenge—open to all—just for FUN, FUN, FUN
Here’s how it works:
Every Wednesday I post a photo (this week it’s that one above.)
You respond with something CREATIVE
Here are some suggestions:
- An answering photo
- A cartoon
- A joke
- A caption
- An anecdote
- A short story (flash fiction)
- A poem
- A newly minted proverb, adage or saying
- An essay
- A song—the lyrics or the performance
You have plenty of scope and only two criteria:
- Your creative offering is indeed yours
- Your writing is kept to 150 words or less
If you post a link in the comments section of this post I’ll be able to find it
If you include Crimson’s Creative Challenge as a heading, WP Search will find it (theory)
by ‘Searching’ in the WP Reader (fingers crossed)
Here’s wishing you inspirational explosions. And FUN.

And so, when the farmer clipped our wings, we were like, let’s just take the car then. And here we are!

And that just brought a real belly laugh! Wonderful. I’m still chuckling. What a great sense of humour.
And it’s good to see some one doing humorous captions instead of poems or fiction. Treble like.

I saw a bunch of geese and ducks on the lawn in front of the KFC processing plant. Initially, I thought of how horrible it was that they were there flaunting their freedom to the condemned chickens, but then I thought no…
it’s just fowl behavior.

I’ve never met a goose I liked. But then, I’ve never met a goose, not a white one anyways. I’ve met a Canada Goose and watched them flying and honking overhead. But that’s another story.
This should be fun! 😊

“I warned you, Edmund, not to get Sheila mad.”
“All I did was to call her a silly goose.”
“And look where that got you. And you had to drag me into it, as well. Maybe it’s not occurred to you, Edmund, that my ambitions extend beyond ornamenting this parking lot with my droppings. Well, they did until now.”

I like it, Brian. Particularly with memories of trying to crop those droppings out of other geese photos. Would be easier to photoshop them, but that’s not an option.
