And Then There Are Anagrams... Poem by Mindy DeNigro

STEVEN likes current EVENTS, DANIEL is often in DENIAL, ARTIE is so IRATE he has no choice but to YELL AT LYLE. ROMAN and NORMA reside in a MANOR, CATHY loves sailing on her nice YACHT, across the street, GERALD just GLARED at them, since they have things he does not.

MARY and MYRA just joined the ARMY, ARCHIE'S title is a CASHIER, ANDREW now works as a WARDEN, which he just started doing this year. ERNIE just went to visit his aunt IRENE, JOAN'S sons are JONAS and JASON, RACHEL'S husband CHARLES just bought her some flowers...this produced MOANS from their teenage son, MASON.

Are RECIPES always PRECISE? Or must one use DISCRETION with the DIRECTIONS? And when it comes time to vote for officials, is your SELECTION best for the ELECTIONS? Bad idea to gorge on DESSERTS? Most likely, they will make you STRESSED. Also foolish to place any BETS on things that you just don't know BEST.

Has one used a CANOE in the OCEAN? Is taking care of one's LASHES a HASSLE? Are GARNETS STRANGE yet beautiful? Should one wear CLEATS while in a CASTLE? Does a DAMSEL own lots of MEDALS? Do PIRATES have PARTIES galore? Ever have ALLERGIES in GALLERIES? Ever been HOARSE while ASHORE?

This has been a switch from my usual themes, perhaps not to all people's liking...yes, indeed, to each his own, and my apologies if this ode was not striking. But, as a rule, all I can do is my best, and at the very least, thanks for perusing. Hopefully, it did make somebody's day if they found it the least bit amusing.
