Melancholy is a Weird Word

Melancholy is a weird word
Sounds like merriment, which is absurd
The word miscellaneous is crazy too
Sounds like a snake that overgrew

Words have meanings on pronunciation
Some never share a celebration
I take some words and kick them up and down
They jiggle and joggle, but rarely frown

Caren, So many curious words I don't understand. Like the word gravity. Remember when people used to say "that's heavy"? -Richard
