Trifextra this week, a very late entry is to write 33 words about a superhero

As superman I fought crimes for many years, but now I will abdicate. No villain is to blame but mobile operators that have made telephone booths obsolete.
For questions call Mr. Clark Kent

So true- I haven’t seen a phone booth for years (my kids don’t even know what they are.) He’d get arrested for changing on the subway 🙂
It became a hassle…
Your observation is so true. Even without mobile phones, telephone booths are gross, germ-laden places at the best of times. Superman will probably be better off having to find a new change room for himself. 🙂
nope.. and germ ridden.. have you any concept of the smell of Super-man’s spandex
get with the times super-dude!!!!
redress where??? public toilets?
Haha… Enjoyed this, and it is true… 😉
Thank you 🙂
It’s true…he’d have no place to change….Diane
Poor guy.
haha that’s great
Thank’s Sam
Ha!ha!Send him to India-we still have some ;-)Cute take on the prompt Bjorn:-)
That’s a thought — but I assume there are cultural barriers…
So true-never thought of that one-hmm..let’s see if we can build a telephone booth for him put in Space?He has no probs travelling anyways,what say?;-)
Great. This is too funny! 🙂
Thank you 😉
Time waits on no man and obviously Superman too.
🙂
What a great take…I love this!
Thank you 🙂
ever-changing technology screws writers too, doesn’t it?
Indeed.
This has got to win!!!
We’ll see… it was a very late entry 🙂
What did I tell you???
🙂
Fun! lol I like.

🙂 Thank you Scott
Too funny! And so true. Hard to be a superhero without somewhere to change. Great take on the prompt!
I can just see the kids asking.. Ma, what’s a phone booth?
Surely he can find an alternative? (:
Public toilets?
No the origins of superman, but his retirement, I like!
Indeed. I think it’s time for him to retire
This has put a wide gring on my face! Well done, Bjorn.
🙂
Oh no, redundant but not for lack of rescue mission opportunities!
Probably Iron man take over… 🙂
Superman never wore shorts, anyway. 🙂
Jeg lurer på om du kan tenke deg å hjelpe meg med å se på en ting. Jeg snakker ikke svensk. Men ved hjelp av en mengde hjelpemidler har jeg laget et svensk adventsdikt. Kunne du tenke deg å se på det og eventuelt fortelle meg det om noe er feil ved det? Finn diktet her: | Svensk adventsdikt |.
Hej!
Jag har lämnat lite svar. Väldigt modigt att skriva på Svenska… Det gör jag inte själv 🙂
Beklager, men jeg finner ikke kommentaren (heller ikke som “søppel”).
OK jag ger den här istället.
Förutom några stavfel (svenska ord som stavas annorlunda) så är mitt största problem (som inte är så lättlöst) att tända på är slang för att bli hög på narkotika… vilket jag inte tror att du menar.
Om det fungerar (och då måste du hitta nya rim) att använda tända nu (talar dessutom ett “psalm” språk som jag tror att du vill ha).
Hvem snakker om å bli “hög”? I møte med Gud er det nok å ikke bryte helt sammen. Men Kristus er næring og gir glød, det er helt sikkert. Jeg har nå rettet en masse på adventsdiktet. Jeg håper du liker det nå.
Jag menade att meningen
Det första ljus vi tänder på
låter lite underlig på Svenska. Det är nog inte fel, men det låter lite konstigt.
Om du vill ha ett sista råd, så fundera över jättestor – på svenska är det lite “barnspråk”, och det kan vara rätt. Stilmässigt låter väldigt stor mera vördnadsfullt som jag tror att du vill ha.
Jag tycker det är en fin dikt, som jag tycker du kan vara stolt över.
Takk! 🙂
Jeg var usikker på det. Og jeg tror det er likt på dansk som på svensk. Det er bare i Norge vi sier “tenne på”. Så jeg har gjort linjen(e) om. Nå heter det “Det första ljus vi tände må”.
+ 🙂 +
Perfekt 🙂
Og jeg fjernet “jättestor”. Takk!
Finally some rest for Clark Kent.
Very ingenious.
Thank you 🙂
Very clever!
Congrats on your well-deserved win!
Thank you 🙂
I hate when I miss your writing and you won! This is great. May got all messed up for me. Glad I caught it in Featured Trifectan ;-O
😉
I can see why this won!! Superman taking a leave of absence due to technology. I agree with him! 🙂 I live in a small area in Virginia where we still have telephone booths, actually a lot come to think of it. hmmm. Perhaps Clark can take a rest here in the Blue Ridge Mountains. lol
