Rural Squirrel goes Nuclear
Can you repeat that for me?
There are words I avoid saying
They make my tongue go cross
You won’t find me saying things like
Worcestershire sauce
But if a mischievous rural squirrel were to go nuclear
And offers you açaí in your quinoa
Remember nothing sweeter
Breathed through a sphygmomanometer
Than an anemone in February
Ignominious phenomenon glossolaliary
Supposedly on a moist Wednesday
However, if you can circumlocute these verbiages
You’ll show dominance
With cacophonic confidence

I took my son and niece to Gori, a small town in Georgia where Joseph Stalin was born. They talked me into visiting the Stalin's Museum, the largest in the post-Soviet space. I had resisted going there because I just can't stand the monster and know enough about him, or so I thought.

MOIST! lol. This was a hoot, Amos. I realised I wasn't subscribed to you and this was first thing I read. I love that you rhymed nuclear and quinoa, and worcestershire sauce with cross. lol. This made me smile a lot and laugh! Well done.
Ah yes, the moist Wednesday 😂 Many words here I didn't know. I had to look them up in the middle of reading. Your lexicon is exemplary, Amos, and your poetry is sublime! I love the humour you're bringing to this platform! 😂
😅 Well, I learned a few new words. Fun read, Amos!
