This latest Trifecta challenge intrigued me and the first thing I thought of was a monster in my toe. The second thing I thought of was an evil entity in my cell phone that continually FORCES me to play Candy Crush. He’s a real bastard, I tell ya. I went with the asshole in my cell phone.
This week’s challenge: It’s now time for some Trifextra fun. Thirty years ago, Roald Dahl published the book Dirty Beasts, a collection of poems for children about weird and wonderful animals. The last poem, however, is called The Tummy Beast about a boy who thinks there’s someone living in his belly. Your Trifextra challenge is to write 33 words on a beast in an unusual place. No swamps or forests or caves, we really want you to take your beast out of its comfort zone.
My entry & please forgive my corresponding photo. It was the best I could come up with.
Oh! Mesmerizing Monster in my cell phone,
Why oh why won’t you leave me alone?
Candy crushing! Crushing candy! I can’t seem to quit!
Addicted I am and you give not one whit!
I swear, getting a smartphone may have been one of the stupidest things I’ve ever done. 🙂 Personally, I’m addicted to watching my WordPress stats! *grin*

As for Candy Crush…I’ve heard it’s highly addictive (worse than meth) so I’ve decided abstinence is best!
