double dutch

“double dutch”


it wasn’t a stretch for
street to become
straat

but

i took a hop 
skip and a jump
with verviervoudigen

hmmm. I get that you're playing hopscotch, but might've had a titch too much scotch to write 'verviervoudigen.' LOL Nah... I looked it up. Quadrupled!!!!

To me travelling is always wonderful. I've been doing it all my life; and hopefully will die doing it

Well now I see the error of my way... you're not playing hopscotch... you're jumping rope. I never consider your writes to be pointless, although I have scratched my head on a number of them. lol I hope your visit to Amsterdam was wonderful.

Lol. My wife and I just got back from Amsterdam. I love languages and linguistics but have to say that Dutch was very difficult for me. I'm glad you took the time to look up the word Lin. Though I personally don't jump rope, I was trying to use some jump rope terminology; if you wouldn't have looked up the word, it would have been more pointless than it already is lol...
