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.

A blog for the midnight epiphanies and idle thoughts of a hopeless wordaholic.
Very much like it Yoda says... truly a challenge to break the chains of grammar
ReplyDeleteDelightful Bev and completely understandable.
ReplyDeleteIsn'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.
ReplyDeleteThose $9 hamburgers make me want to be a vegetarian.
ReplyDeleteThis is breathless like someone who hates travelling by train :)
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't until I lived in Indiana that I heard some of these things actually said - marvelous tangles of words, Bev!
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I think of them as more Minnesotan.
DeleteHey, 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! :)
ReplyDeleteYou're right -- it IS Wisconsin. Sorry about that, Charles!
DeleteI loved that movie.
ReplyDeleteWhat 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. :)

Loved this and like you- I'd never put up with a $9 burger! Good play on words.
ReplyDeleteYou've created something good and incredible in its style and words. :)
ReplyDeleteThere was a campfire song we learned in Scotland as children--"Ye cannae shove your grannie of a bus..." mmmm....
ReplyDeleteLoving 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! :)
