Silly Wherefore Art Thou
What has happened to silly,
that willy-nilly, slightly
frilly state of giggling quite
shrilly until you very nearly
lose your breath?
When words like piccalilli
or vanilli leave us
in a dilly due
to really, really
watery eyes. Oh, how
we need some silly.
Lovely ‘silly’ poem 😁
Happy Monday
Much💛🌺💛love

Yes! Where did it go? Sometimes I feel like I have to keep it hidden inside me for fear of “serious rebuttal” or “somber scowl” to meet it face to face. I laugh a lot in my car. We have to unleash it and let it ride!

We do need the silly these days instead of all the anxiety.

Oh I agree, Candy! Children love silly, and whenever I get together with my sister revert to childhood and are silly together. It could be because we were both teachers and found a bit of silliness helped us to connect with some children. I agree about words like piccalilli.

Funny how many words you can “remember” when you rhyme. It’s strange that people have these huge vocabularies in their heads but do we ever really use even half of the words?
