The expression, “Tongue In Cheek” is conjectural
Is it in there just for fun or to be sexual
It’s more than just symbolic
This cheeky organ frolic
...
“A body at rest tends to remain at rest….”
My body seems to do that best
My wife insists I rest too long
Her critical appraisal may not be wrong
...
Be quiet! Don't make a sound!
Speak when you're spoken to!
What awful fearful bounds
Speaking only on cue
...
Malapropisms are wordy misuse
Totally fraught with wordy abuse
Linguistically, wordy erroneous
Nomenclature-ly wordy felonious
...
That’s a lot of croc
There’s nothing pleasant about their features
Their Skin’s as hard as rock
...
“Peace on earth
Good will towards men”
Heard almost since birth
Over and over again
...
“My Country Tis Of Thee”
Has stood the test of history
But it’s meaning verbally
For me is still a mystery
...
Its’ stately white exterior
The White House
Touched by color
Now proudly glows
...
(*Daph was a dear late friend who dared me to write on this subject)
I have never been bright in science
