Word Droppings Poem by Barry Van Allen

Word Droppings



I like the word ' curmudgeon',
'flummox' is a good one too,
'melancholy' sounds like fun,
but isn't.

' Onomatopoeia' sounds a little dirty,
so let's talk about that some more!
but, only in the dark, ' tween you and me,
and then we'll catch some 'zzzzzzz, s'.

'Syllable' is 'ludicrous',
as is 'placebo' and 'gazebo',
not to mention everybody's friend 'Bozo',
who has been known to have some fun!

Rent a crane and attach it to your face,
let us see if there is a smile to be had,
- - - my money is on that damn dismal poet.

Let's try the 'hokey - pokey', left foot in - - -
and the right foot out, (Sorry, that is the splitz) ,
I don't really want to know what you are shaking all about!
Okey - dokee... and other silly rhymes sometimes
can put a smile on my face.

It must be hell being you!

I'm going to need my 'Super - Duper - Pooper - Scooper ',
or a damn big shovel to deal with that attitude!

Oh! , go ahead and be that way!
Just concentrate on what went wrong!
and where you WON'T belong,
instead of where you could be!

His 'spouse' says that a mouse house,
is just a teeny - tiny hovel,
I like saying 'tabernacle',
it makes me sort of chuckle... ('tabernacle') ,
oh! , sorry... but it's a fun word!

So is 'Turd',
I am beginning to think that you may be the
foremost authority on the subject,
since you are being a 'REALLY' big one!
Just remember this, (Again!) - - -
bigger isn't always better!

'Smidgen'? ...
'Smidgeon'? ...
'Smidgin'? ... is such a silly word,
that I'm not sure that anyone can even spell it!
- - - at least I can't!

There is 'asphalt ' on my driveway,
and even if it was my fault,
I would try to blame it all on you!
So, there!

Next week I'll be a handfull,
but, if you are coming to my birthday party,
bring a funny word with you, Mr. Scrooge!
