It's time for the Monthly Poetry Group, hosted by Karen at Baking in a Tornado. Participants write a poem about a topic one of us chose. This month, Karen chose Bugs. Be sure to go check out all the poems.
"I love to study etymology"
I told my dearest friend.
She bought me an ant farm to study,
it drove me around the bend!
I tried to explain the mistake to her,
how an "n" makes it a different word,
she thinks I'm being picky
and too much of a word nerd.
*******
My job is in entomology,
I really think it's cool,
I get to work with lots of bugs
and teach about them in school.
But one thing really gets me,
people asking what different words mean,
I'd yell, "I'm not a walking dictionary!"
but I don't want to cause a scene.
