I LIKE WORDS
Jerry-Mac Johnston
I like talking
because it uses words
I like words
because you can make sentences
I like Willard R. Espy
because he plays with words
I like Milton-Bradley
because they made up Scrabble
I like the newspaper
because the words come off
on your fingers
I like James J. Kilpatrick
because he takes words
so seriously
I like Wheel of Fortune
because Vanna White
makes big words on TV
I like Strunk&White
because they have style
even if nobody ever reads them
I like the thesaurus
because it sounds like something
from the Mesozoic era
I like Frank Shaeffer and the
New York Times
because they make great
crossword puzzles
I like the American Heritage
Dictionary CD-ROM version
because a new word pops up
each time you open it
I like the folks who make
the “Word-for-Today” calendars
and the word for today is
LEGS
Spread the word
