malapropisms, noun: humorous misusing of a word or words
'M al' usually means bad. But in this case, it was A tongueling of the tang. Right. What they all say. L oose lips sink ships, so I've heard. A N Y W A Y, A medic in the USAF, OB-GYN floor. My assignment: P rocure the vital signs of Mrs. ________, who is R eclining in bed under the gravid weight of twins. O h, don't forget their vitals, either. Gather all of the P araphernalia, walk into her room, what comes out?
'I need to check your hetal fart tones.' She laughed S o hard, thought she'd have the babies right then. M y face turned crimson when I realized what I'd said. S upposed to have said, fetal heart tones. Whoops.

hee, hee, hee... That is too hilarious!! hee, hee, hee...
A true malapropism! Challenge met and exceeded. And I'm still laughing. I knew you would give me a great poem with that word!
This duel is getting pretty serious / Why don't you just face off with dueling pistols under a mighty oak with silvery Spanish moss trailing the soft southern wind and draw blood / This was, again, well done / I am proud of ya.
Outstanding poem, Karla, and too funny, to boot! Thanks for the smiles; I enjoyed this one! Challenge well met and exceeded, bar none! And that piccy: too cute!
(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :D *purring at that adorable kitteh*
