I like synonym
on my toast.

I take antonyms
to the coast.

I swing adverbs
merrily

and my adjectives
give me glee.

When my nouns
just lie around,

I pick them up
and put them down.

I find some verbs
to set them free

and they go dancing
away with me.

Then some of my nouns
get all mixed ‘round

they’re stirred and shaken
and sometimes ground.

They’re like the coffee
in my cup

that I drink down
and then fill up.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Oh, this is lovely!

I think you master the dance of all those ingredients of the language wonderfully!

Love, Margherita

In the winds of Cherokee song

I think you just gave us the song for these pages of blue. I really got into this one and now I am thinking I could use a bagel with some pronoun spread.

Very much enjoyed this.
