Au Jus Trium [et Triginta] Rerum [aut Verborum] by C.D. Tolliver


A tribunal of testy triffids tried troublesome trefoil tripodes, tripped up a triad of trivial triceratopsians and trapped tricorned Trinitarian tractarians at trial. “Treble damages,” trumpeted the triumphant triumvirs triunely, a triple play.

  1. Nice! Thought you might like this, from my favorite author...

    “Have it compose a poem- a poem about a haircut! But lofty, tragic, timeless, full of love, treachery, retribution, quiet heroism in the face of certain doom! Six lines, cleverly rhymed, and every word beginning with the letter S!!”….

    Seduced, shaggy Samson snored.
    She scissored short. Sorely shorn,
    Soon shackled slave, Samson sighed,
    Silently scheming
    Sightlessly seeking
    Some savage, spectacular suicide."
