I always said that you could make a shopping list sound like a poem
"These words don't make me a poet, these Eyes make me a poet."

I've posted a story challenge on the challenge board... to use these words listed in a story. (In case you guys want to have fun with it. ;))

Lrod ... thanks. I remember in the first Cabaradio when Kevin stood up and read his shopping list as a poem. It was very funny! That didn't really inspire this idea... but I just thought of it. :)

Cecil.... Thanks for the reminder. Since my shopping list continues to grow, I'm going to need a new pantry. And apparently, from reading it, also a very good lawyer. :)

a candle lit table
an embroidery needle hidden within the summer dress lining
tickets to a big ball game, hot dogs included
a pair of opera glasses
a hand written letter from a lover

Just some of my favorite things.

Doreen, I did actually participate in the last challenge, one of the pieces in my diary was created to begin with, using the vocabulary from the last challenge, but what happened was it took a whole new going and moved away from the wording to other wording, though it's a poem that had been given life from the original list here.
A just so you know, it worked, though not as expected. It was the poem of mine you had liked too, which made it feel good to me, cause you're a part in it.
`Do you know, I was so angry, Kitty,' Alice went on...`when I saw all the mischief you had been doing, I was very nearly opening the window, and putting you out into the snow! And you'd have deserved it, you
little mischievous darling!
