THREE WORD WEDNESDAY
Slang words this week
'conniption, janky, scooch'
SLANGING MATCH!
When I woke up this-morning
And made an attempt to blog,
I found the computer had problems
(Maybe a minor cog!)
Well, I had a conniption fit right there!
How dare it be so janky!
What a way to start the day!
My! Did I feel cranky!
I fiddled here, I fiddled there,
Much fortified by gin!
And in the end I took it
And kicked it in the bin!
'Scooch!' I yelled, with vehemence;
'Get going! On your way!'
*
So that is why I cannot write
A poem for today!

WINTER SUNSHINE
Cold sand; cool water.
Holiday homes, empty for Winter,
Cast long shadows on the beach.

SNAP.

ReplyDeleteGin always helps. Great use of the words.
