This week we are seeing double with ‘Double Take’.
The ‘Double Take’ challenge focuses on the use of homophones* to build your writing piece. You have two sets of homophones and you are challenged to use all of them in your response – which can be poetry or prose.
Our homophone sets this week are:
meat – animal flesh
meet – to connect
mete – a boundary
and
pride – ego
pryed – opened
During the outbreak, each had their own mete, but they agreed to meet up and exchange various types of meat for variety as one had chickens, one bred rabbits and the other had guinea fowl.
Pride goes before a fall they say. She was a nosy old biddy, toffee nosed to boot, but when she pryed open the casket, she was not prepared for what was inside……….. a pile of rocks. The old boy had fooled them all and absconded with the family loot.
Good one.
That’s what I call an unexpected twist! Hope no gold diggers are out there taking notes….
It’s probably already happened somewhere Li. You doing OK?
So far so good. Thanks for asking. How about you, Di?
We’re good Li. Hoping to do a basic shop tomorrow evening to replace what we’ve used this past week
Great. I’ve been stocking up on dry goods like rice, beans, lentils, etc. You never know…
We eat a lot of rice and pasta as a matter of course so they are always in the cupboard
