Winter Splinter
A contest of word lists - the subject of winter
Make up a good poem - then send to the printer
But nothing says nothing 'bout giving a twist
By splitting and sageing - might get a slapped wrist
Digging for riches but finding a fossil
Verbosely scream curses and break the left tonsil
Brand Google spelt badly - the word is googol
Do wordsmith pedantics abuse alcohol
Outdoor camp fires all start from a spark
Lingering light ships on oceans of dark
Political, cynical, critical flak
Essentially yakity yak-yak yak-yak
Key "here key" right here into Google translate
Gives French "ici clé" phrase - without a mistake
Out of date foodstuff upsets the midriff
Tsunami of turd quakes - unwise to sniff sniff
Bumblebees, hornets, the much hated wasp
Adequate hostiles - so don't make them cross
So maybe this verse neither winter nor cold
The task has been questioned, the poetry's holed
But maybe this contest's not held by hijackers
Print out the rhyme pairs for jokes Christmas crackers
Entry for "a winter poem" contest - uses words (sort of): silver, gold, sparkling, flakes, icicles, drifts, spades - 30th November 2016
