Playing With Words

Playing with Words is Just a Funny Phase
Philosophical Phil’s phonetic phrase
Magnetized magazines moving in a maze
Generating goodwill in a gazelle’s goofy gaze
Cramping crafty crayfish in a crazy craze.
Depriving deranged deputy Dibby Daze
Playing with words is just a funny phase!

Gliding glimmer glasses glowing glaze.
Blackbird blabbermouth blessing blaze.
Haphazard Happiness hardening haze,
Greeting grotesque greenhorns as they graze.
Poetizing with silliness is just my own sweet craze.

Honestly, this is fabulous, Caren. It's going right into my FAVES, and will help cheer me up on those gloomy, gray Chicago days! Thanks! Smiles, Gershon

I love it, Caren. Every once in a while we simply have to let our silliness out. It's both refreshing and calming to the soul. Good one!

I did this during lunch duty so my eyes were popping up and around in between each line as I scoured the room for who was doing what - 46 children and me - they are always winning.
