Some phrases you read are more splendid than most,
‘Best words in best
order’ they certainly show.
I recently found, on a friend’s Facebook post,
A striking example
which made me think, ‘Oh!
It’s into a poem
that you need to go!’
Robust and amusing, and not the least flimsy,
Three words, to wit*: spectacled, owl and whimsy.
These words, I expect, never met up before,
(The whimsy of owls
wearing glasses is rare),
But put them together? They’re hard to ignore,
Like elephant,
trousers and everywhere,
Or, ornithological,
cheesecake and hair.
Put spectacled owl whimsy onto the list,
Of phrases which
really ought not to be missed.
You may now be
wondering, ‘Why is he writing,
Such silly, nonsensical stuff – is he high?’
The reason is
simple, and not so exciting:
I enjoy finding odd things which exemplify,
The daftness of life, and this caught my
eye.
Yes, I like to find
phrases uniquely expressed,
And spectacled owl whimsy’s one of the best!
(*to woo)
