Wonderful Wednesday Has Fun With Wordplay!
It’s time for another Wonderful Wordplay Wednesday! ‘
The last time we did one was last May.
This is the poster from that challenge!
The challenge today is to write a poem involving a play on words –
just write something that makes you smile!
and that you think might makes someone else smile because of the way you said it!
That includes alliteration
or silly words
amusing dialogue
or expressions
anything that involves creatively playing with words!

Welcome everyone to the Wonderful Wordplay Wednesday! Today we’re just going to challenge you to Be Creative and Have Fun with words! The English language is like a writer’s playground, and this blog is for whatever and however you want to amuse yourself playing with them! The gate to the poetic playground is wide open!
Here’s an oldie I hope doesn’t bug you too much. I enjoy reading and writing Limericks. This was a story multiple. The wordplay begins with the title.
Insect Aside
A butterfly named Hortense Martin
was searching for love in the garden.
She wasn’t good looking,
had nothing else cooking;
naught but her own heart could she harden.
Hortense sought advice from a larvae
known as the Great Allknowing Harvey.
How should she proceed
to placate her need?
Harvey said: go see Dana Carvey.
The Church Lady quickly suggested
with new wings Hortense should be invested.
She’d be hottest of ladies!
Even manly Cicadies
would think thoughts which might get them arrested!
So Hortense got herself some new duds
to attract a few butterfly studs.
A pair with bright stripes
and some red hearty types.
Showed them off on two fresh lily buds.
But Hortense was soon disappointed.
With attention she was not anointed,
and she learned in the end,
good looks only pretend.
To your heart’s where true love will be pointed.

Another one I still enjoy reading, and another multiple Limericky one. This one is crammed with all sorts of wordplayfulness. Also about finding love. I may need to see a shrink about that…
I think I have lost my mind
I went to work and left it behind
But at least I am not blind
So hopefully tomorrow I can find.

Just need some time to unwind
😆 :love: :love: :love:
And all will soon be aligned
Just have to remind
Before heading back to the daily grind!
