Fun With Ow

© - Tom Hyland - 12-22-08

in conflict with is - Afoul. *
“Me” - says the Cereal in the Bowl.
The ‘Bloody Brit’ dented his Cowl.
A rounded Rod is a Dowel.

Archaic Enough is - Enow.
“The Sky is falling” - said the Fowl.
“Grrrrr …” - the Dog did Growl.
“The better to eat you with” - the Wolf did Howl.

A Debt is an - I Owe U.
A Dewlap or a Wattle is a Jowl.
To kneel in respect, awe, or submission is to Kowtow.
‘Tis a meek and humble way of behaving - Lowly.

To forcefully knock is to Mow Down.
At this exact Time is Now!
“Whoo, Whoo” - says the Owl.
A Native ‘Sit-Down’ is a Powwow.

A QWERTY Keyboard does not rhyme - Q Nohow! *
The Spiked Wheel on a Rider’s Spur is a Rowel.
Fatty Salt Pork is called Sowbelly.
A Drying Cloth is a Towel.

When You Holler - U-Howl. *
A E I O U Y - each is a Vowel.
To Amaze is to Wow!
To Delete is to X-OWLT. *

A Bad Boo-Boo makes one Yowl.
Surprise in Batman comics is expressed as Zowie!

* - Poetic license Claimed!

When You Holler - U-Howl.

Something this old wolfman and his dogs do quite often. And then when the neighbors holler about all the howling - U-Haul!
