Howdy-do 😀
I thought I would have a bit of fun writing my poem today, as I have been kind of serious and morally of late (booo).
With some Harry Potteresque words coming up, I decided to go for a fantasy theme and a wee rhyme as well.
Seemed rude not to 😉
Magic Fetch Overt Grade Cactus Enchanting Secret Lick Glib
As the tendrils of his magic
Floated lazily through the air,
I instructed our Dragon
To fetch the Master’s chair.
In an overt display of grandeur
That scaled creature did as bid,
(Then settled back to gnaw the bones
Of hapless late-servant, Sid).
I went back o’er the test-papers,
Checking every grade was true;
Then I fed the Collared Peccary
A nice cactus or two.
When Master was done enchanting,
I opened his secret lair.
(Dragon came to lick his boots
And carry in that chair).
I trotted out my glib def’rence,
Made everything look good;
Then escaped, to have my lunch
(Not fancying the Dragon’s food).
The verses scan pretty well, but if I’d had more time I would have tightened it up a lot more (maybe have written about other strange happenings in the speaker’s day, too).
The mention of ‘Collared Peccary’ comes from here, as I was quickly searching for something that would consume a cactus and might be an unusual animal to pop up in a wizardy poem.
I looked up ‘glib’ here. I wanted to make sure I was using it correctly.
What scenario did today’s word combo make you think of?
