Strange New Words

Nothing sounds happier Than snickers or giggles The words even cause us to laugh Perhaps we could invent A new one or two Like sniggles or snickles or glaffs It's all for the benefit Of us human kind In this world of turmoil and grief There's hilarious words Like loopsies or cleepers Or how bout a hand full of meef I know what you're thinking The white coats are coming This fellow's gone over the edge The pressures of dealing With everyday living Has caused this fellow to skredge So you see how it works? You'll never be stumped To fill out the end of each rhyme Ask John John he knows Uses very strange phrasing And he saves a scritchy of time © Jack Ellison 2015

I think I need a 2nd cuppa coffee! This was fun! But Hubby had to explain the words. How is it I can understand Dragon, Trolls, penguins, and pidgeons, but not this? Must still be asleep! Grandpa Troll says I'm only using 1/2 my brain. The wrong side! So THAT's my problem! No wonder I can't write! I need to use the other side and my other hand! I had one hand tied behind my back to make it fair for youse guys when I write! Untie the Kracken! May the best one win!
