An Unfortunate Encounter: Percy Nicholas Snickety

Word of the Day: Persnickety

An Unfortunate Encounter with Mr. Snickety

Per-per-Mr. Percy Nicholas Snickety
Snick-snick-snicker Old Snickety
Finnicky tricks with splikity-spick jiminy
So slick you snit-pick to flick out serendipity
Tie your knickers to snotty-knotty per-sniffery
And split-nick your persnickety way home.

Many thanks to Melanie whose challenging instructions were: Write a poem, story or anecdote, inspired by this word....Most importantly? HAVE FUN! (I did.)

Yon Monkey Speaks

Written for Sadje’s What Do You See picture prompt,
a response in monkey-ese.

Swishy-tailey, me peek, silly she,
The mugwump bare-skin two-peddy.
Why she not eating
Why she just waving
Oh-boy yellow-sweety thing to me?
Coo-Mummy say, me thinky much.
Growly-tummy say, why fussy much?
“Silly two-peddy she, God bless-bless to you.”
Swishy-tailey, yellow-sweety, woo-hoo!
