Writing, like most other creative problem-solving processes, can sometimes best coalesce into sense out of utter nonsense. Untrammeled play is often the precursor to productive work, and if it remains unproductive, there will be less cursing afterward anyway. If you know what I mean, and since you’re hanging around here I can only assume that you, too, understand the importance of letting your silly side out for regular exercise.
So today, no more from me than a hearty helping of hooey. How shall I refine the ridiculous on this occasion? Perhaps not at all. Maybe I’ll just throw it on the table and let you decide what’s worth a nibble or a nosh, for once. Play on, pals.
Noises On

Chuck chuckle chuckling Buck buckle buckling Suck suckle suckling
Duck…Duckle? Duckling…
Oh, F…I mean, Yuck.
Definitive Thoughts
Aberration [/ˌæb.’bɛər.ˈreɪ.ʃ(ə)n/ noun]: the odd ursine meal.
Harbinger [/ˈhɑːr.bɪndʒ-ɜːr/ noun]: one who chortles incontinently.
Jasmine Tea [/’dʒæz.men.ˌtiː/ noun]: Thelonious and Tatum play golf.
Protuberance [/prə.ˈtuː.bər.əns/ noun]: in favor of liquid-cleaning one’s brass instrument.
Rapscallion [/ræp.ˈskæl.i.ən/ noun]: green onion that induces stream-of-consciousness chanting.
Raisin Bread [/ˈreɪ.z.ˌɪnˈbred/ noun]: what’s the matter with cousinbrother Raymond.
Saline [/ˈseɪ.lɪŋ/ verb]: what square-riggers do over the bounding main.
Scalawag [/ˈskæl.ɪ.wæɡ/ noun]: opera house humorist.
So that’s why everyone leaves the kitchen whenever I cook with green onions…
…whereas *I* might like to be a fly on the wall just for the privilege of hearing you rap! 😉
Privilege? Ha!
Not at all; I suspect that if you delved into it, it’d be anything but the run [DMC] of the mill variety!
“If words be the food of ‘love'”….I would be on a diet.
Impressive literary bravado, Kathryn.
Nonsense, my dear! If I had the tiniest part of second-language skill you have I would think myself a superstar. By this reasoning, you *ought* to be an extremely large woman indeed…what you have done is *internalize* the expanse. Like so many places in the best mythology, your world is simply larger on the inside than on the outside! 🙂

Oh the noise of your words is a joy. Loved the format too
Thanks, Claire! I had fun fiddling with this one. Sometimes it’s good to just let go of what I ordinarily do and see what happens….

That is psychedelic!
Why, thank you! A good dose of psilliness can definitely be psychedelic. 😀

A thousand thanks! 😀
