Japes
by Rachel Hoyt
I like to rhyme jolly japes,
Joke and laugh like a bunch of apes,
Jest about juggling green grapes,
And spread the word that jokes are japes.

Every week I rhyme and define a new wacky word.
Come on over to indulge your inner nerd.
And, please let me know of any weird words you've heard!

That was nice... I have a word in mind, its not weird but would love to see it in a rhyme - balaclava - what say you Rachel?
ReplyDeleteOooh... balaclava! That sounds fun to rhyme indeed!! I probably won't use it for wacky word Wednesday, but I'll try to find a way to work it in for you. :) :)
DeleteAll this time I was thinking I was rhyming baklava for you... Now I see balaclava is much more unique. :)
DeleteI look forward to these.
ReplyDeleteYay! :) :) :)
DeleteApes and japes, two of my favourite things :)
ReplyDeleteMe too! We're kindred spirits for sure. :)
DeleteAnd, yet another word I didn't know, Rachel. Fantastic job!
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Thank you Martha! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. :)
DeleteJapes, hmmm? Sounds like a strawberry banana flavor of ice cream. Or, oooooh hey!, maybe really, really juicy grape Popsicles!
ReplyDeleteLOL. It does seem like a good grape popsicle name. :)
DeleteThat was great! I always love seeing what you will come up with next!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jessica! I'm glad you enjoy them so much. :) :)
DeleteOf course apes like grapes! They're good for throwing. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful play with rhymes....
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rashmi! I had fun with the rhymes here for sure. :)
