Shabby chic he calls it. I’m not sure about that. Shabby yes, but more cheap than chic! His furniture looks so tired; the grandfather clock nodded off at twenty-past eight, just look at the miserable expression on its face!
It’s the height of domiciliary fashion he told me. Really? More trashion than fashion I think. An eclectic mix he claims. That’s one way of putting it I suppose!
A miscellany said he
A jumble said I
A gallimaufry, he
A hotchpotch, I
An omnium-gatherum, he
A what? I
A salmagundi, he
You’ve lost me! said I.
Well, he likes it, obviously. Me? I’m an Ikea kinda guy.
Minimalist said I
Basic said he
Modern, I
Characterless, he
Contemporary, I
Floccinaucinihilipilification, he
I beg your pardon said I.
Our discussion was going nowhere. Time to find some common ground.
A glass of wine? said he
In a modern glass? said I
Oh shut up, he!
Vive la difference, I
Cheers, said he.

Lol…” the grandfather clock nodded off..” brilliant humor.
And your marvelous sesquipedalian (long words) banter…sublime!
Thanks, Suzette. It’ll never feature on TikTok!
Lol…maybe it could!!
Can never have enough salmagundi with your glass of wine!!
Or the other way around, LOL!
The latter, definitely!
Just perfect for a Sunday chuckle in my own jumble/hotchpotch! 🙂
What would Sunday be without a chuckle? A perfect response, thank you.
Good thing they found some common ground — and vocabulary.
That’s what I thought, it was going on and on!
hilarious word play, Keith. well done as always and love your new words
I’m pleased you liked it Beth, thank you.
Haha! Great poem Keith.
Love your jabberwocky.
Great word play Keith – the old and the new – there is always something in common if you look hard enough 😂
One man’s trash….
Fabulous story, i’m still giggling.
Clever word play Keith! Such a fun read and delightful to hear you read it!!
Wouldn’t the world be a boring place if we all agreed on everything?
Nice one, Keith!
Love this, Keith!
