Roof and roofs
a brace of quail,
a hoof and hooves
a snail and snails.
A gaggle of geese
a herd of deer
always keep
your spell check near.
For more tiles on roofs, go to Magpie Tales.

haha i would be much the worse for wear, or where, without my spell check...smiles.
ReplyDeleteSame hear!
DeleteThis is funny!
ReplyDeleteAs I enlarged (or as Tess says embiggened) the image, the details were mind-boggling! I see you caught them ....
ReplyDeleteYou are too kind. I saw very little of it. But when I was a child, my parents called the top part of houses 'rooves', so that kicked off the silly.
DeleteOh, there were numerous drawings, tiny sketches, animals, people and on and on! You must read the most recent Snowbrush post!
DeleteI enjoyed the title of your poem as well as the rhymes. Plurals can be difficult to determine, it's true. Thank you for sharing this lighthearted look at Chagall, Ray. =D
ReplyDeleteHilarious Stafford! A Spell check is more frequently used though a dictionary at hand is also useful! Great!
ReplyDeleteHank
Yes, Hank, my huge Websters is useful as a door stop.
Deletehaha - that last line came out of the blue
ReplyDeleteSo you are still in your 'blue' phase!
DeleteBut I guess there was little choice. Nobody says 'out of the cobalt', but I guess 'out of the duck egg' could make it to the vernacular!
Enjoyed what you have done here - I'm still waiting for inspiration to hit me.
ReplyDeleteThe secret life of rooves !
ReplyDeleteI don't know about that. I have heard certain Cockneys talking about 'horse's hoofs', with the 'oo' as made with lips in the pecking position, but I have no idea what they mean. :-)
DeleteIf only Spellcheck thought in English, life would be less confusing! LOL
ReplyDeleteNobody who thinks logically thinks in English!
DeleteHah! Definitely reliant on spellcheck!
ReplyDeleteAnna :o]
This is funny. Plural forms can be confusing. We have "mouse" pl "mice", except on our computers, which have "mouses" - or so I'm told.
ReplyDeleteAnd then there are those "rooves" on our "hice" . . .
Not just a spellchecker, a proofreader built in to the keyboard would be handy. The title is great, I'm always looking for snappy titles for my poems and posts (possibly trying too hard), and I love this one.
ReplyDeleteHee! I am THE world's worst speller...thank god for spell check!
ReplyDeleteClever... and loved the title.
ReplyDeleteI keep my spell check strapped to my hip.....lol! :-)
ReplyDeleteHeh hee....! Good one! But I Finks it Is aaa Grate Iadea to hafF yOrr spel chiKen FiNGY at STandy-by.....♫
ReplyDeletehow fun!!
ReplyDeletei am your newest follower..pls follow back if you can.
The Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas' recent drastic reorganization of the national security is one sign to this effect. E-papers do not minimize from covering stories that received little coverage in the reputed national papers. Hindi Samachar is entertaining millions of people with incredible reports, events, information and gossips. Some say it would have, because there is an ongoing collaboration between the two groups in attacks on Israel. The contempt he held for America had little to do with politics and democracy.

However, this solution is chemical free and some people find natural products
more appealing. The herbal solution is said to be a natural one, but, this does not necessarily
indicate that it is more effective than other available procedures.
