Attention: Word Nerds, the Eight Parts of Speech,------ Revised For You and Me-----

******************** "Word Nerds" (like me)... ************ **************Please Have Fun & Read VERY Closely:)*********** Now and again a word sneakily obscure approaches the fog in me screams its name suddenly Apropos adverbs appear clearly startling perplexing precarious adjectives slick little nouns caught hiding beyond babbling brooks sent to exile defiling crooks "pro"fessional nouns jailed beneath eight parts of speech. Preposition-ed pre-fixed subjects elusive predicates slithering suffix-ation turn-ing key delicately through holes freeing vocabulary trapped within prison cells synonyms pen bars filled in the past participles. Plagued like Job's tedious job of siphoning deciphering homographs from heteronyms. Words never mind! they wind the mind gliding in the wind...

You, I think are the wordnerdsmith. You always impress me with your wordplay, you play around with them, and yet can also be serious with your meanings with them. Not everyone can pull it off, yet you do so with such slickness & you seem to have so much fun with it, and it truly shows in what you write. I got me some wordplay of my own, but a lot of them are still just aging in my mind, poor words, being trapped like that.
