Recently learned the word malaprop, didn't want to dally on this something silly, cheers dilly
The dust flew off the top of the sealant fan
Frantically I started to clean my barns out
I swept it quickly up in my little dust pan
Worked up quite a thirst, without a drought
I spot checked with a test of the right glove
Everything finally seeming so slick and span
Until in the room walked the life of my love
And he turned on that damned dusty fan
I screamed and yelled from the tip of my lung
And passed a list of chores called honey poo
Is that what it's called? it's on the top of my tongue
Swept up all the dust again, that's what my honey do
I'm not old; Joe tries to say with sprightly hop
as he enters to make a momentous speech;
then mutters and mumbles all over the shop.
Staffers step in before the ratings can leach;
"I'm sure you can forgive the odd malaprop
no mistakes big enough for you to impeach
after all, he's just like your friendly grandpop".
Then just when he thought he was safe out of reach
"I'm hunted," said Hunter "they have my laptop".
