Caren Krutsinger Poet Rhyme

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.

John Fleming August 30, 2020 at 5:26 AM An understandable mistake for anyone to make I myself would have to say. :) Enjoyed! :) john Caren Krutsinger August 31, 2020 at 3:05 PM 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.

Kim Rodrigues August 30, 2020 at 4:49 AM Some people just can’t handle a nickname. How about kettlesome...likely to get steamed. Caren Krutsinger August 31, 2020 at 3:06 PM 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?
