Vaguely Homonymic Musings

Introduction

This is another Seven Days In excavation from July 2018, and I have included two consecutive posts because there is a reference between them. Essentially, I see the homonymic number list as a sort of poem, so I am including it in the Vocal Poets as a free-form poem, and that is the main reason for sharing this with you but I needed to include the piece that it referred to.

Vaguely Homonymic Musings

When I titled my last post "Speed Too", I thought how far can you count using homonyms instead of the actual numbers? I know it's convoluted (especially seven), and someone else will have done this better, but it was an interesting thing to think about. This is the list:

Won

Too

Free

For

Fife

Sicks

'S Even

Ate

Nein

Tin

I was vaguely thinking of numbering blog posts with these words but decided against it, as I'd get bored, and I've done it all in one here.

Today I went for a Tofu Katsu Curry at Wildflower, but I still find Tofu to spongy and featurelessly chewy. The Katsu Curry, rice and leaves were excellent though, and really, I should have asked for the tofu to be replaced by Mushrooms.

I also gave in to temptation and bought a vinyl desk copy of Alice Co0per's "School's Out" on a Green Warner Brothers label, and that should complete my vinyl collection, barring any new inventive covers or picture discs.

So maybe we can do more Alice Cooper today and go with a live take on Gutter Cat vs The Jets.

Speed Too

This time I know what music I'm going to include, so I should be able to keep to my ten minutes to create this blog post, but I sort of know I won't. As I've said before, and therefore repeating myself, but we always do that, don't we, this blog is also a diary for myself so that I can store things that I like and are worth remembering for me.

When I was first blogging that first paragraph would have been enough but I also have to tell you about the frightening "Ballad of Dright Fry" by Alice Cooper from the album "Love It To Death" about and mentally unstable child murderer ... but the way that song sotally unnerves you still doesn't prepare you for the segue into the abum's finale a cover of Rolf Harris' "Sun Arise" which does sort of leave you with a smile on your face while feeling cold inside from the previous song.

So that's that, another very quick post, and it's still Wednesday.

Oh, and this post took me over 160K page views.

Conclusion

I know the "poem" is just ten words in this piece, but I hope you enjoyed the rest of the stuff as well. Thank you so much for reading.
