I laughed when I read your first line. Great play on words. I love popcorn popping and libraries, too!
ReplyDeletei love your love poem!
ReplyDeleteI love how short and sweet the poem is! Just the simple things you love
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I read They Might Be Giants, I had a soundtrack in my head. Strange how words can do that?

You've nutshelled the power of words as idea & memory packages, Kevin. Writing specifically packs what can be delicious punches. "I love hearing popcorn pop & music" wouldn't have had the same effect. By naming the music precisely, the words connect with a reader like you -- and either intrigue or alienate any number of other readers :)
DeleteI love this post. I immediately checked out more zeugmas/i. I have never heard of this figure of speech. It does catch hold attention.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
Fabulous!!! I was laughing and thinking what I can come up with.
ReplyDeleteLike Mary Ann, I checked out zeugmas because it was a new word for me. I think what you created was splendid. Happy Valentine's Day.
ReplyDeleteSadly, because he was reigning, a jazz king left his harp in Sam Frank's Disco. Happily, he just zuegmaed all the way home... in the rain... with a pluckish grin dripping with character on his face!
ReplyDeleteVery cool! Something to keep in mind to try during March. I have to admit, I was puzzling over They Might Be Giants. So glad Dogtrax's comment cleared that up for me.
ReplyDeleteI love this poem and sleeping late. (he he he) #sunchatblogger
