Flip-flap-flip-flap-flippetty-fling,
books go flying zig…zag…zing.
Words are all a-clink, a-clatter.
In my dream, there’s naught a-matter.
Fwoosh! A novel buzzes ‘round,
blurting out each verb and noun!
Next, some poems play with patter.
Words are all a-clink, a-clatter.
Bam! I clap my hands while trilling,
“Ding! Dang! Dong! It’s all quite thrilling!”
Cream-white paper, inky spatter…
In my dream, there’s naught a-matter.
Giggle, giggle! Themes now mingle.
Flying tomes give me a tingle.
Oh, so fun, this chitterchatter!
In my dream, there’s naught a-matter.

Acutezza

I just learned a new word today, courtesy of Changing Minds.org.  It's 'acutezza' and it means the use of wit or wordplay.  I think it just might be my new favorite word!

There's a whole lot of very cool figures of speech on that page, actually.  

Like, f'r instance, 'Dogberryism' (which sounds very Dilbert-ish, doesn't it?  It means the same thing as malapropism, which means replacing a word with one that sounds similar, but is generally just wrong!)

I also found 'aureation' (the use of fancy words) and 'glossolalia' (fabricated, meaningless speech) which are just wonderful, dontcha think?!

Well, that's it, except...to everyone, I wish you a Happy Thanksgiving!

(How's that for a bit of 'paraprosdokia' with regard to today's post???)
