NONSENSE IT IS

Poetics by Paul this week, and  he asks us to take
a look at grammar, THE RULES, and how to break
them.  Brief mine is of necessity, scrambled were
my brains!

***************

Throw Momma from the train her hat.  Here are cookies
for the family that are chocolate in my bag.  I thought not
much, but that photo catches my eye in your hallway. 
On hungry arriving, I got a hamburger from that restaurant
that cost $9.00.  It was an expense up with which I will not
put again.  But, glad to be here I am.

  3. Isn't this fun? Grammar needed to be spanked today, and you managed a few good whacks. I love this style; could dive into it often if prompted to or dared to.

  4. Those $9 hamburgers make me want to be a vegetarian.

  6. It wasn't until I lived in Indiana that I heard some of these things actually said - marvelous tangles of words, Bev!

  7. Hey, I'm a Minnesotan (though I haven't live there in years)! We do not speak like that... anymore. I was thinking, Wisconsin. Definitely Wisconsin! That said: Throw the cow over the fence some hay! :)

    1. You're right -- it IS Wisconsin. Sorry about that, Charles!

  8. I loved that movie.

    What a great sentence: "Here are cookies
    for the family that are chocolate in my bag."

    It makes me think of how fortune cookies are written. :)

  12. Loving the way this reads....I read it a second time aloud. Enjoyed that last sentence "...glad to be here I am." Funny....but I often comment "smiling I am" to a post...and indeed I am this morning..here! :)
