As Brevity is the soul of wit? Shut up! Said the Char of the Thrift Store to customers stood outside the Pawn Shop. A mere Scattering stood watching the antics of a Thrill Seeker sucking on a Lollipop. Who hoped to pawn an Anchor he’d found in a nearby Summer House that he held firmly by a Bungee Cord, tied to same. Rhymer.

The THRILL-SEEKER sucking a LOLLIPOP who had dragged his found anchor to the PAWNSHOP with a BUNGEE CORD demonstrated that he lacked CIRCUMSPECTION when the stretched out cord suddenly reached its max length and snapped the anchor back, knocking him flat out on the ground! It was not ENCHANTING for the customers in the nearby old THRIFT STORE with a COLUMNAR frontage, hearing him TYRANNICALly cursing, but it was quite a memorable HAPPENSTANCE for them!

After some serious Circumspection as to the rationality of enjoying an Enchanting evening under an imitation Palm Tree, which in reality, was a tree from our Peach Orchard. Watered by a Rivulet from the Rapids nearby, which we had decorated extensively with Columnar leaf patterns, Happenstance saw us actually remaining inside our Snow Covered porch, for Nature’s unforeseen, Tyrannical tantrums had forced us to do so. Rhymer.

Oh how I miss the little clumps of miniature DIANTHUS bordering our walkway to the PEACH ORCHARD from our covered PORCH. Autumn will soon turn to winter, and the grounds will be SNOW-COVERED once again. No more RIVULET of blossoms as though from a RAPIDS of flowers. I will feel like a CRETIN visiting from BABYLON as visitors arrive in their ETHANOL-powered vehicles to see us, and we will greet them on our porch with the fake PALM TREE and pretend that it is summer again.

I believe most folks know the story of the Tower of Babylon which, although no Camera Man was present, paints a visionary description of the event. Today the chances are we’d get a far different scene to look at, for modernity, in so many ways, has completely changed both our perspective and attitude. For instance, standing on Terra Firma looking up at Attic windows, we might see Air Conditioner units where once only the rare Window Sash would be seen hanging. Besides which chances are a drunken Cretin, high on Bootleg Ethanol based booze, would be skulking in the shadows. Trampling flowers, be they Dianthus, Asters or shade seeking Hostas. Such is the all too common scene, seen today. Rhymer.

Why does the CAMERAMAN look like he just crawled out of the ATTIC after discovering your HOOCH there? And where in the automotive ANTIQUITIES did they find that Cadillac ELDORADO the lead man is sitting in looking so PENSIVE, as though he is BEWITCHED?

It's hot in here. Someone needs either to raise the WINDOW SASH or turn on the AIR CONDITIONER, or I'm gonna just have to step outside and stand on good old TERRA FIRMA.

After hours in Pensive contemplation, I’ve concluded, you’re either Bewitched, from too much Hooch, or perhaps, your Corset, emitting noises akin to that of an incompetent Ventriloquist, sounds like a loose Canvas flapping in the winter breeze,or echoes your Abdomen’s gastronomic Soliloquy, is alerting listeners you’ve found - God forbid - your copy of a writer’s misplaced Eldorado of Antiquities! Rhymer.
