Monkeying and Horsing Around

Absorb what you observe as quite absurd, have fun with wacky wit that's seldom heard. For instance, watch a shrieking monkey monkey with a monkey wrench, or a horse as it hoarsely horses around with a horseshoe on a bench; you'll find that, neighing hoarsely, the monkey will horse around the bench as noisily as a shrieking shod horse monkeying with a wrench; or hear a dog doggedly bark at dog-eared books about cats, or see some turtles crane their necks like cool giraffes wearing straw hats; in time, the dog will learn to meow, to stretch its neck, to wear some hats, as turtles try to bark and read books about giraffish dogs and cats. Observe you've just absorbed something absurd, some wacky words are better read than heard.
