Most people, who don’t read my blog, wouldn’t know that I love playing with words. Here is today’s effort. A rather hasty one, as I have dug up the raspberries, and need to fertilize the soil and replant them. Putting up stakes and wires to try to bring a semblance of order, so that one can walk between the rows. Here is what came to me this morning, early:
Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle, the cow jumped over the moon.
The pigs squeal with delight as they fly off in flight. Geese soar up above, screaming their love,
Flapping and honking, squealing and oinking, whelping and mewing, circling and hallooing.
The dog and the cat chase till red in the face. Puffed and defeated with a final expletive,
They curl up to dream of peaches and cream, staying warm till the dawn, no longer forlorn,
Content to snuggle, a warm furry cuddle, as the cow settles down for her milking.

I love wordplay, too. This was really fun and lively, and I like how it circled back to the cow. I thought of “when pigs fly” – is that said in Australia? 🙂

Yes, we do say ‘when pigs fly’. So good to hear from you Dixie, I’ve been off air for some time, as winter pursuits have taken me else where! xx

Oh this was very punny. :] I love your little rhyming wordplay. This is especially entertaining as I’m reminded of the time when I taught Pre-K and had to do childrens rhymes. I’m glad I found your blog through the daily post! Feel free to check out and comment on mine as well. Keep writing!
