Life On The Shoulders!

Life On The Shoulders! Did you ever feel like, “Stop the world … and get it off of my shoulders!” We all do at times! I did when ‘someone’ commented on my use of Big Words. Yet, going back to the June 25, 1816 Royal Gazette I found lychophronism,...

Cramp Knots Make Cramp Nots!

Stephanie Kelley Dean Butterfield had been promising to take me on a nature hike to see the where the Frobisher’s Louseworts grow. These plants are endangered, and rare… in fact, they have only ever been found growing in one location, and that is near the river outside of Aroostook....

What Would I Know!

Sometimes I just have to wonder! Sometimes I feel like I’m racing down a column declivity with no brakes and/or performing column acrobatics with no net! Like, I read where a man is out hunting with his wife, who has a license, and they come across a moose and...

Snippets!

This is/will be an anthology of snippets! Little things – fragments! Like – there are no regular changes in the sky, the heavens, the zodiac, that occur in seven days and correspond to a week! Sardine – there’s no such actual fish. By age 15 the average teen, nowadays,...

Alliteration Allowances!

I, analogously, actually appreciate alliteration. I find it an actual aid. So, allowing allegedly allegorical alliteration is appealing. Like – Pursuing potential philosophy possibilities! Like too – making a modern media modicum of modest materialism. Or – The “graduated” grammarian graciously granted that grand-scale graphic graffiti generally grandiloquently graces...

Don’t Fence Me In!

Different people with different viewpoints see spirituality in different ways. To some, everything has its own ipseity (individual identity) that transfuses to its own orenda (inherent spiritual force), sometimes sincere and sometimes as insincere as ormolu! Reminds me where I read about “secular culture redefining morality”. It always has!!!...

My Mum

When I was wearing baby clothes My Mum would smile and wipe my nose But if I tried to suck my thumb She’d come by and scite my bum, And later when I went to school She made me use the Golden Rule Learn to know what’s right or...

No Notable Nuggets!

There are/will be times when one is simply faced with a shortage along the lines of “facetious nonce words” or “face-saving nonsense words”! Such was the situation when she of the lardaceous rear, which shape reminded me of lautenclavicymbals and/or something right off of the Pribilof Islands, suggested shrilly...

Blood On The Brand

They slink down the runway All eyelashes and lips Strutting their stuff As they swivel their hips, Sleek silhouettes In stiletto style heels Who – can’t fathom hunger And – the way that it feels, High-fashion models Selling designer clothes Enticing the masses To buy them in droves, ‘Haute...

You Do The Math!

I’ve read that Bobby Orr waited 35 years after his final NHL game to write a hockey book! So, that game was in 1978. You do the math! hockey changes – Cherry hasn’t. He’s still living in a corner (No pun intended!) back in the 70’s Boston/Orr era. Don...
