Mettlesome Vs Meddlesome

The woman was angry and called me dumb. Because I had nicknamed her mettlesome. Mixing up this word With another- so absurd. The mean adjective that is meddlesome. I quickly showed her this tiny mistake. Stubborn her head was as hard as a rake. She kept a grudge. Thus I called her “pudge” So I guess best friends we will never make.

I have to tell you, I was looking through the dictionary, wishing I knew more words when Mettlesome popped up and into my lap and I knew I had to do something with it.

Some people just can’t handle a nickname. How about kettlesome...likely to get steamed.

I love that. Kettlesome. Hmmmmm I am trying to figure out what my third limerick could be now, Kim. Maybe we should collaborate on it?
