Some will think I'm NUTS!
Others - he's got GUTS!
A few may say Im a KLUTZ!
No Ifs, or Ands, or BUTS!

Speaking of BUTTS -
what rhymes with ARSE?
Would COARSE be FORCED?
Or, t'would better be - FARCE?

Why do I write this CRAP?
Woke up from a midnite NAP.
The IDEA came, so I'm to BLAME,
That's my CLAIM to FAME!

If I happen to aggravate your grey MATTER,
or, make your heart to go PITTER-PATTER,
go grab a Donut and Java - and get FATTER!

Confabulations, hopefully causing YOU to THINK!

All of this CRAPOLA was obtained directly from

Just for the sake of Education, or Edification,
Here are a few things I learned in this process:



CLERESTORY COACH -
A Railroad Carriage or Coach,
With a raised central section along its roof,
Containing small windows…

GEE - Another name for a CABOOSE?



CLERIHEW -

Two Rhyming couplets in lines of irregular meter
About somebody who is named in the verse,
Usually in the first or second line.

LIKE MAYBE ?

she tied it to the heater,

Every time he turned around,
he burned his little --- NOSE!


YAHWEH -
Or Yahveh or Jahveh, or Jahweh -
A name of God, expanded from the four letters,
YHWH (Tetragrammaton), that form the proper
Name of God in Hebrew.

A Yahwist or Yahvist is also called a Jehovist -
Is this the origin of JEHOVAH’S WITNESS?

I actually read about this fact about twenty years ago.


How about this one?

“JUMPING JEHOSHAPHAT”

In the Bible, he was a King of Judea who succeeded Asa,
And formed an Alliance with Ahab of Israel Against Syria.
(1, 2 Kings; 2 Chronicles).
