Caren Krutsinger Poet Light Verse

Americanized English Explained

Comfortable in her own skin seems weird, and supercalifragelisticexpialadocous. 
The last dog hung also rather strange, as well as win one for the Gipper. 
Then we Americans throw in references to Pinocchio and the Little Red Hen.

Yo Ho Ho and a Bottle of Rum. No Jolly Roger fans then?
Abracadabra. Just a spoon full of sugar makes the medicine go down.
The old college try.

The foreign exchange student stops writing and stares at me. 
Shouldn’t it be the young college try?
I have no words to explain this.

Gershon Wolf August 27, 2020 at 6:27 PM Ooh. I would have flunked him. He implied that you're old!! (Get it?). lol. :) gw Caren Krutsinger August 27, 2020 at 9:23 PM I do get it, but since I fabricated the entire thing, I was he and he was me and I would have to flunk myself. I am not ready to do this.
