I think I used them all!

WARNING: this post is really quite absurd. Perhaps have a few drinks prior ro reading to dull the inevitable pain....

I sit on my recliner
And attempt to find
The right meter and rhythm
My own challange a bind.

So I will tell you a story
With verisimilitde
And certainly hope
I never am rude.

My titian hair tousled
My brainwaves in peril
I dwell and I dither
My words come out sterile.

But I tell myself "Stephanie,
You must have more pluck.
SO get out of this dwaal
Lest this poem be all muck."

So I will attempt to vivisect
A day common to me
With conundrums aplenty
And much puckery.

The kittens shenanigans
(you see we have four)
Have made a kaleidescope
Of my living room floor.

These scurrilous felines
Begin every day
With Snagglepuss tactics
They just won't obey.

Then after a coffee
For caffeine is a must
I make my way to the barn
Feeling oh so robust.

I don my galoshes
After snarffing a bagal
My nifty jeans all tucked in
To avoid the yard's muddy peril.


"Oglalla!" I shout
Pretending that it's someone's name
And not a species from Voyager
See Star Trek's the game!

The evenstar hangs
In the dark morning air
Giving an eerie bouffant
To my touque covered hair.

The alpaca pellets
A first morning treat
Are greeted with wahoos
And ogles repleat.

Rex is sanguine
Then suddenly lugubrious
He realizes I am walking
Not driving the gator... so curious.

You see Rex is a Gator Dog
It is his job to navigate
So when driving said ranch wheels
I do not discomobulate.

But this morning I walk rounds
In peripatetic fashion
Pouring sesamoid offerings
Into troughs is my passion.

I would play them a tune
If I just had a zither
Instead of singing off key
And sending cria a-dither.

Perhaps filled with aldrenadon
Or suffering hallucinogenation
I pitchfork the hay
For the critters' better selection.

A few cria bottle fed
A bunch of shots given
Is the only way I can think of
To include antidisestablishmentariansim.

My uvula quivers
My tummy is queasy
Do I really dare post
This literary travesty?!

"BAH!" says I, with a right hook to good taste
"I will post it and laugh right in my own face!"
So with that fellow bloggers, yes you, all my friends
I will bring my gaggle-less efforts, now closed, to their end.

(this is just soooooooo awful... lol!)

okay then....

SO we have:
dwarf
dwindle
dwell
pluck (must be used as a noun)
sesamoid
verisimilitude
peril
galoshes
bouffant
dwaal
discombobulate
conundrum
titian
peripatetic
puckery
and from Rache "IJUSTNEEDONEMORECUPOFCOFFEETOFLY" (hee hee!)
snagglepuss
snarf
shenanigans
aldrenadon (which Rache made up, so we best wait for her daffy... er, definition)
hallucinogenation (see above remark!)
evenstar
gaggle
kaleidescope
lugubrious
vivisect
woosah
zither
dither
uvula
travesty
scurrilous
sanguine (ooo I do like this one!)
robust
obey
nifty
ogle
Oglalla
queasy
and of course...
antidisestablishmentariansim

All righty then! Rise to the challenge friends and neighbours! I tag you all to use as many of these in a post as possible! Creative silliness encouraged mightily!

word play.... please play with me!

OK, so my last post was solved instantly by darling Lannio, (the Three Great DWs: dwarf, dwindle and dwell) and Val added a lovely new one to the mix with dwaal!
We also have pluck, which must be used as a noun.
I am tagging everyone!
Let's play a game. Let's list as many unusual, or not used nearly enough, or obscure and strange words as we can and then... we will put them all together! I challenge everyone (once we have a nice crop of them) to stuff in as many as they can in a post of their own.
Mooaahahahahaha! The recipe of a literary mad scientest.... a veritable Frankenstein of phrases! Oh, include phrases too if you like... but don't let on the definitions... perhaps we will learn a little on the way!
I am going to start with
sesamoid (always wanted to use this one and never had the chance)
salubrious
verisimilitude
peril (which started this whole thing off)
galoshes
bouffant

The three great DWs.....

Ok, so while spending a brilliant evening with Dale, we happened on the topic of wonderful words in the English language that are not used nearly often enough. I believe the word that sparked that discussion was "peril."
It reminded me of an email from my friend Peter, who seems to figure quite often on my blog lately! I do not recall just what the whole email was about, but at the end, Peter noted the three Great DWs, three words that begin with dw that are not used nearly often enough, (as well as the word pluck used as a noun.)
So I challenge you all to figure out and list the Three Great DWs... and Peter, I know you are reading this, so no cheating! But do feel free to comment... :)

a request....

could you, would you, all of you please, send me your physical mailing address? You do not have to post it on here, but if you would email it to me at stephanieannstevens@gmail.com I would greatly appreciate it! I have this silly idea that I might be organized enough this year to send Christmas cards to one and all... hee hee! But I have been rather into writing real letters lately, and would love to be able to zip one your way(s) when inspiration strikes!
Thank all.. much love...
