Invention Improv #1

Invention improv is a challenge I have come up with where you start typing without a topic in mind and by the end of the article you need to have come up with a useful invention.  This is attempt 1.

So take a piece of wood and cut it into a long plank shape.  Let's call this a plank.  Now make three more of these planks, and put them all down on the ground in a square formation.  In the middle of the square, stand up a longer tree-shaped piece of wood with branches and leaves.  I’ll call this a tree.  Ok so far we have a square of wood, with a tree in the middle, and at the moment the tree is feeling very uncomfortable as it’s surrounded by planks, which it basically sees as the skeletons of murdered trees.  So to make this fair we need to do something for the tree, so take some candy floss and wrap it all around the tree like those candy floss wand things you get at tacky fairgrounds.  Now the tree is comfortable with the situation because it’s got a lovely sugary jumper on.  And I call this invention a tree jumper, or trumper for short.

This didn’t really work did it… I will try again another day...
