Music in the pit.
A suff’rer of herpetophilia
Kept all sorts of dang’rous reptilia.
For them she would play
On her fife ev’ry day.
Have you ever heard anything sillier!?

I am only too happy to prompt such silliness...
ReplyDeleteOrchestra pit ... one of my favorite places to hang .... thank you for the Magpie smile AND my happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteStafford, a clever way of depicting life's irony. People do the unexpected unwittingly but we can well see it coming.
ReplyDeleteHank

ReplyDeleteand we always enjoy.

Great one... Made me check my vocabulary... Hahaha...
ReplyDeleteJJRod'z
We all ran for the dictionary
ReplyDeleteon this one, sir, and of course
you led us down a strange and
randy sexual path, laced with
levity and Ray sarcasm; which
we all crave, and can't seem to
get enough of.
Alpha double plus!! Stafford . . I thought I was Magpie's foremost limerist. To thee I bow the knee!
ReplyDeletebrilliant rhyming!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant stuff. Just reading the first line made me giggle and I knew, just knew the rest would be brilliant.
ReplyDeleteAnna :o]

Okay, so I had to look at yours and FTSE's side-by-each to see whether I'd recommend calling it a draw.
ReplyDeletePretty tough to beat your "herpetophilia" but his rhyming "do so" with Rousseau is also very nice.
I'm glad it isn't up to me to judge.

It's nice to learn a new word! Especially one like herpetophilia, and a great fun read too:)
ReplyDeleteLoved this! Chopped syl'bles and all!
ReplyDeleteLoved this...and thanks for teaching me of a new word.
ReplyDeletestellar stupidity is soon rewarded!
ReplyDeleteApplause!
Ogden Nash would be proud! A wonderful little verse! Wasn't it Nash who wrote these memorable words:
ReplyDeleteI eat my peas with honey.
I've done it all my life.
It makes them taste quite funny,
but it keeps them on my knife.
Have a smilingly lovely day!
The first thing come to mind was Herpetic Whitlow and at the moment I am not even sure if I have spelt it correctly. However, as I am now into the silliness proposed here ... it really doesn't matter.
ReplyDeleteI love to come across silliness ... it lighten-brightens my day. And oh yes! War is the greatest evil on earth.
