Sat on the park bench
In an effort to enjoy his sandwiches, Charlie brown
Reacts with a smile – to the girl who caught his
Eye….the girl with the red hair
Now – tomorrow – he might go over and talk to her
from inkdrop – poetry, places and events
#Socs #Wordnotfound
You would think , after years of primary, secondary and even tertiary education
There wouldn’t be a time when i’d need to check my spelling
Then again – the English language is full of wonderous words – and although the grand academics might not like this , some of them have been happily poached from our friends and neighbours across the English Channel.
Some have been invented and Some words and terms have been put in there simply because they’re used in common parlance
Howzat then ? because someone’s asked for a thingummy-bob to fix a watchamicallit as part of a job.
Normally Translated – A Spanner or wrench to fix a nut or a bolt, or an allen key to screw together two bits of wood with those magic screws – you know the ones – Hexagonal holes in the head of the screw
and as words keep on being added – the pages of the dictionary get bigger… And don’t think the computer can keep up – for poor old Hex has to have his Lexicon updated (sometimes daily) to keep up.
The true test ? getting listed in the OSW – Official Scrabble Words list – and there’s plenty in those pages!

“Looks like we’re going shopping kids, there’s now’t in the fridge for tea!”
It was a few days before Santa Claus was about to do his deliveries
And the elves were busy in their workshop
When a little elf ran up to the big man and handed him a letter
“Dear klaus,” it read…
“Nice to see you and yours doing so well in your work,
Was wondering what you would like for Christmas this year…
Your mums making a ham for lunch…if you and yours would like to come
I’ve got something nice for the reindeer too
Drop me a line when you think you’ll get here
Seasons greetings and All the best
DAD”
Salford, 15th March 2018
Noted academics, would call it a break in the silence
Owls wake at the sound of the shrill
Interested passers by, wonder where the wailing is coming from
Songs sung in the shower – screeching through the air
Exceptional harmonious melodies ? hardly!
Comedy Greats
Have always raised a smile with me
Up the golden stairwell to the pearly gates – they’re
Creating a great wall of laughter
Kids of all ages are
Laughing out loud to
Each single comic – from Cooper to Milligan
Salford, 17th September 2017
Someone should have
Told the sun worshipper to not go near that hive
Instead they went on a honey hunt – and met some angry bees
Note – they were whisked straight off to First aid –
“Got to tell you” – said the nurse – this is going to hurt…..
Eccles to Manchester, 5th September 2017
Manchester – here is a public announcement
Even the local birds
Think their dinner is taking a liberty , as it
Rides along the tracks without a pass, for nothing
On system lines from Salford to Ashton, and Bury to Altrincham
Like old Mancunian cotton weavers, they leave
Interesting little webs like they’re decorating the tram
Note the way though – they stay still on their threads when spotted
Kings of the carriage, till the arrival of a cleaner.
