Virgil and the fragility of things
One letter is all it takes to make
a Virgil
change to a virgin from a poet of
great skill;
it takes the same for Veer
to morph to Veep or Leer
but Vilhelm is way more invinciBill.
One small letter and shit hits the
fan,
the slightest changes can alter a
man.
From lap to slap the gap
is tiny, just a snap -
so be Vigilant, Vaughn, Vaughan,
and Van.
Just before the A-Z started, I wrote a post in which I tackled a few things you could expect from me as a fellow participant. Some found it too Vehement, but I did it with the idea of not being Vague and wishy-washy. Vague is not in Vogue around here. Vehemence is okay sometimes, so long as it doesn't turn Violent, so long all courtesies are observed. Some things can't be stressed enough, don't you agree?
Great examples, and funny how many words can be changed by just one letter.

DeleteHi Nila!
ReplyDeleteI'm back again! Lovely to read your tricky poetry. No one would ever accuse you of vague-ery.
Denise :-)
Welcome back, Denise! and I loved the word 'vague-ery' brilliantly coined!
DeleteOn small slip and you are done for eh? Well, thankfully when classics were being written there were no chances for over-eager word-prompts or typing errors! Lovely poetry!

DeleteYes, I remember a very embarrassing situation someone in office had when the status report meant to have the word public but the writer forgot the 'l'. :O
