PLURD WAY
2 February 2004

Once upon a cinnamon
a wicket which
in at all that
castor spelling
on a mat of powder
mum
bling
piece in
harm in evaluation
natural hours
don’t sunset ice
two and throw
hay today
and gone tomato
die soft black and why
try Albert and
trip you elation
rotor molar
watch the milk
and post the anchovies

Hello Owl, I am deeply in trouble because it is difficult to translate in french and I am not so easy with english as you...I really don't get this one and I would like (if you have time and desire) that you translate it....

regards

Giggles!  My dear friend, Yann, I doubt that anyone would get much of this without help!  It is my silly sense of humour.   Here is my translation:

Word Play
Once upon a time, a wicked witch in a tall hat cast a spell onamatapoæa mumbling peace and harmony, naturalise, don’t synthesize, to and fro, here today and gone tomorrow, dice of black and white, trials and tribulations, motorola watch, watch the milk (on the stove) and post toasties.

I was just playing with words.  Hee hee!  Thanks for reading and asking for an explanation.

As Lewis Carroll would say -
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves ...

A nice bit of fun

Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

-Owl,

You bring such a smile to my face with your creativity.  I can see you smiling as you wrote this - and I am smiling as I respond to it.

Thank you very much, Kushal, for your very kind words.     I am very honoured by what you say.  You think I am talented?  Well, the feeling is mutual then, because I think that you are so talented too!

What a lovely, warm and fun thing to say, Margherita!  Hugs to you too.
