I’m going to have a shufti on eBay

because my adverbs have, slowly, run dry.

And the ‘Words’ page in Exchange and Mart,

as the conjunctions, there, are worth a try!

 

I might nip along to Poundland today,

to hear what the manager has to say,

and pick up a neologism or two,

a gaudy bauble or a sparkling trinket,

nothing too daring, just something new.

A word which a passing magpie might like,

Not a full-blown Ferrari, more of a motorbike!

Adjectives avec un certain quelque chose.

I’ll delve into the Word deep freezer

And grab me a few of those…

 

No.  I won’t bother going shopping.

It’s obviously superfluous, you see.

Words are like love, and snow, and beer, and kindness,

All the finest things in life are free!

 

Well, fair enough, not beer, maybe, 

but certainly the other three!

Please enjoy my poem.  Have these words on me!
