Thirty-three words to win a laugh.
Perhaps a smile will do.
Will they buckle beneath a chuckle?
Utter a giggle or two?
Articulate painstakingly.
Trappings vivisect.

This piece, written in response to the Trifecta Writing Challenge, was written for Draug and as a lecture to myself: I recently incorrectly questioned Draug's usage of a word.
This weekend we're asking you to write 33 words that will make us laugh or smile. Even a chuckle will do. We look forward to the communal spirit lifting. Good luck!
