While a troupe of method actors coated themselves in
luminous paint,
Knowing there’s no business like ‘glow’ business.
Environmentally-friendly grocers aren’t as green as
they are cabbage looking,
Particularly if they used to box and have cauliflower
ears.
Ears of corn can’t hear, naturally, even if you raised
your voice or used force.
But we take certain expressions for granted, as a
matter of course.
For example, there are ‘horses for courses’ and blood
‘courses’ through their veins.
Courses can be educational, there can be courses of
action, treatment and antibiotics.
Although why anyone should be against ‘biotics’ is a mystery.
Mysteries, by their nature, are mystifying, which
sounds like mist-defying,
Which sounds like someone who doesn’t have the
foggiest; being completely mystified.
Personally, why Edward Elgar composed his Enigma
variations is a mystery to me.
‘The Mystery of Edwin Drood’ was Charles Dickens’
unfinished novel,
But lots of people have never finished any of his
books.
These days, many people read with Kindles, others
listen to audiobooks,
I always think if someone has a library of audiobooks
it speaks volumes about them.
Language is a funny thing for sure, English in
particular,
Where we find ‘deed polls’ do not refer to the actions
of Polish people.
Similarly, we discover that a pole vault is not an
eastern-European prison,
(Nor is it a secure environment for the storage of
scaffolding)
Anymore than the economic term: ‘pink pound’ describes
a ‘gay’ prison.
