i like to play with words

this is a repost of one of my earliest writes. don't know why, but it came back to me today...guess i had nuthin' new to say...anyway...it's just a play on words that sum of you have read before...sorry if i be a bore.i did add a few pfazes or is it phrazes, hell, maybe it's just the day's that changed them around to have a new sound to what my words have found.

i like ta' play with words.
change 'em all around.
take a phrase & turn it,
see what i've found.
throw 'em on the paper,
shift their shape & sound.

take a common sayin'
flip it upside down.
see if when ya' turn it
it makes a smile or frown.

abuse 'em.
confuse 'em.
refuse 'em.
time 'em.
ryhme 'em.
slime 'em.

take the words & say 'em.
sing 'em in my head.
try ta' find the rythmn
follow where it's lead.
i like ta' play with words.
change 'em all around.
throw 'em on the paper.
shift their shape & sound.

just see what i've found
when i shift their shape & sound.
what do i get when they comes around.

the words that are bound
there in my heart
in that part
that drives me insane
those simple words in my brain
that get shifted all around
with a different spellin'
no tellin'
what might be found

but i like to play
with words & ther sound
mis-pellin
no tellin'
what u'll get from me
but i hope u see
come what will
come what may
still
the words i have to say
r just word play
