Max the Crafty Cat

M.A.D. Works
Three Things Challenge #MM99

Your three words today are:
CRAFTY
NIPPY
CHEEKY

In a town where the weather was chilly and nippy,
Lived a cat named Max, oh so crafty and cheeky.
With a flick of his tail, he’d cause such a fuss,
Sneaking treats and toys, oh, he loved to make a mess!

One fine day, he dared Rufus, the dog,
To a race by the shed—oh, what a slog!
Max dashed off so quick, leaving poor Rufus confused,
Crafty and cheeky, he simply refused to lose!

So here’s to dear Max, with his playful little ways,
In a world full of laughter, he brightens our days!

The Harmony of Harp and Crumpet

M.A.D. Works
Three Things Challenge #MM95

Your three words today are:
STRING
HARP
CRUMPET

In a land where melodies dance and leap,
A harp strummed softly, making shadows creep.
But a crumpet, so round, had a sticky jam dart,
It wiggled and giggled, stealing the harp’s heart.

“Play me a tune!” the crumpet did plead,
But the harp just laughed, “I’m not here for bread’s need!”
So they jammed together, what a quirky sight,
A stringed serenade, with a crumpet’s delight!

Now they’re quite a pair, strumming through the days,
Harp tunes and crumpets in a buttery haze!

Three Things Challenge #MM94

Your three words today are:
PINCH
BOUNCE
ROLL

A new game was invented,
where fun is the goal,
you simply must make
a ball bounce and roll.

With a flick and a toss,
if it dances just right,
pinch your nose tight,
and you claim your delight.

The Crook’s Downfall

M.A.D. Works
Three Things Challenge #MM89

Your final three words for this week are:
UNLUCKY
CREEPY
LADDER

The unlucky, creepy crook one night,
Climbed a ladder, hoping for a heist so bright.
But fate had other plans in store,
As he teetered high, he lost his core.

With a stumble and a slip, down he went,
A tumble through air, his balance spent.
Oh, the irony in his sneaky plight,
The ladder crumbled, swallowed by the night.

He landed with a thud, in the shadows’ cloak,
Dreams of riches vanished, like a cruel joke.
So heed this tale of the crook so brash,
Sometimes misfortune gives a wicked crash.

Cookie Bandit

M.A.D. Works
Three Things Challenge #MM55

Your three words today are:
ACCUSE
RECLUSE
SIMPER

In a quiet old town lived a recluse,
Whose cookies were stolen—oh, what a ruse!
They accused him with glee, in whispers so sly,
But he simpered and grinned, “Just let me comply!”

With a plate full of treats, they arrived at his door,
He took just one bite, then devoured them more.
Now he’s the sweet legend, with fame in his midst,
The cookie-stealing recluse? No one can resist!

Echoes of Betrayal

M.A.D. Works
Three Things Challenge: MM48

Your three words today are:
SHARP
CUT
PRICK

The sharp pain of the words you said
Cuts through me like a knife.
The pain comes rushing in,
Doubts begin to creep.
Was I ever meant anything to you,
Or just a means to get what you need?
Now that you’ve got it,
Now that I’m no longer useful,
You want to drop me.

A Celebration of Love

M.A.D. Works
Three Things Challenge : MM52

Your three words today are:
WEDDING
CELEBRATION
REFORM

In a garden where dreams entwine,
A wedding blooms, a love divine.
With vows exchanged, hearts intertwine,
A celebration, a joyful design.

Amongst the laughter and sweet delight,
They dance through the day, into the night.
Yet from this union, a brighter norm,
Love ignites a gentle reform.

Hand in hand, they’ll face what’s ahead,
With grace and strength, their lives they’ll thread.
Together they’ll build, together they’ll dream,
In the light of love’s everlasting beam.

Lemon, Tangerine, and Plum Pie

M.A.D. Works
Three Things Challenge #MM12

LEMON
TANGERINE
PLUM

Lemon, tangerine, and plum pie, oh my,
So many flavors, it’s hard to deny.
What am I ever going to choose,
When each one’s a treat that I cannot refuse?

All delicious, each tempting delight,
In a world of sweets, they shine so bright.
But I have a vision, a plan in my mind,
To create a pie that’s one of a kind.

With zesty lemon and tangerine’s glow,
And luscious plum to sweeten the show.
A blend of all three, my taste buds will cheer,
The best of all pies will soon be here!

So here’s to the flavors, so fresh and divine,
In my kitchen, they’ll dance and entwine.
With love and some flair, I’ll mix them just right,
A pie full of magic to savor tonight!

A Triangle’s Dance

M.A.D. Works
Three Things Challenge #MM8

Your three words today are:
TRIANGLE
CIRCUIT
RANGE

In the realm of shapes, a triangle sways,
With corners sharp, in curious plays.
A circuit of whispers, electric and bright,
Dances through shadows, igniting the night.

In the range of the odd, where logic bends,
Triangles twist, where the ordinary ends.
Circuitous dreams in a geometric trance,
Hold hands with the strange, in a wild, wobbly dance.

MAD Missy 😠

Three Things Challenge #M746

UPPER
CUP
CURSE

Silly Kitty

I once found an enchanted upper,
That turned my cat into a playful cur.
But when I drank from the mystical cup,
I accidentally cast a feline curse.

Now my kitty’s stuck in a silly spin,
Chasing tails with a mischievous grin.
I wish I could reverse this furry curse,
And return my pet to its normal purr.

Three Things Challenge #M745

PATHETIC
FEEBLE
WEAK

Pathetic, feeble, weak I may seem,
But in my mind, I reign as supreme.
With muscles like noodles, and no strength to speak,
I’m a champion in the game of being unique.

I may lift a feather and call it a feat,
While others carry boulders down the street.
My feeble attempts at looking tough,
End up being laughably not so rough.

Pathetic, feeble, weak, they say with a grin,
But I embrace it all and take it on the chin.
For in my world, strength is overrated,
I’ll stick to being me, never outdated.

THONG
THRONG
PONG

In a bustling city throng,
There danced a lone thong,
It bounced and pranced all along,
Singing a strange old song.

With a ping and a pong,
It captivated the throng,
Gathering a curious throng,
To join in the odd, merry song.

INK

INTO

In the quiet of my inner space,
I dip my pen into the ink,
And bring to life a scene or face,
Drawing stories with each distinct link.

DRAW
DRAWER
DRAWN

In the stillness of the night, dreams draw near,
In the drawer of the mind, memories appear.
Sketches of the past, intricately drawn,
In the heart’s hidden drawer, emotions spawn.
