Words & Wordplay - March 2007

Long live the weeds that overwhelm
My narrow vegetable realm!—
The bitter rock, the barren soil
That force the son of man to toil;
All things unholy, marked by curse,
The ugly of the universe.
The rough, the wicked, and the wild
That keep the spirit undefiled.
With these I match my little wit
And earn the right to stand or sit,
Hope, look, create, or drink and die:
These shape the creature that is I.

Have you heard people use the phrase ''I don't give a care''? It sounds like something Ned Flanders from The Simpsons would say.

I'd give it 7 out of 10 for being very irritating and grammatically incorrect. Do you think its annoying?

And…and so it goes:
As the thread outlasts the spool,
So the thorn, the rose.
Time observes its rule:
Each instant leaps back into
The dark lilied pool.
It sprang from. Each blue
Tile along the garden wall
Ends where it has to go
End, in a thin scrawl
Of grout that marks out its grave.
Summer comes to fall.
Though breathing and brave,
The sentence stops, that must burn
The air in its cave.
Thus our great concern –
Feeling shut in by the wall
Of our own pattern –
Seems quite natural:
Even with some makeshift plan,
How to keep it all
Going, how to fan
The embers of aftermath
Up now into an
Even flame – not wrath
Nor sudden lust yielded to –
But light on a path
That would continue
Until some kind of an end
Crept up into view
From around the bend
Or straight toward us from the dark
Who but would extend
That path, keep the spark
Still left glowing, nursed along
A last walk through stark
Finality? (Strong
Last words will count more than fond

THE TWO IN PARENTHESIS SOUND AKWARD HOW DO I FIX THEM?

Lindsay and I heeled our kick stands behind us with excitement and soon we were gliding along on our bikes. Under the summer sun they carried the two of us down a dusty trail through Light House field. ((((((The knee high grass bordering our path was dry and hot, but still maintained it's happy green colors. Dogs of all breeds and colors froliced throughout while their owners mingled with eachother in shorts. )))))

I guess "going to the bathroom" is a euphamism in itself.

I've heard

- using the 'room'

- answering the call of nature

- talking to a man about a horse

- painting the porcelain

- checking the plumbing

- continuing the water cycle

any others you've heard?
