“The dictionary is the only place where success comes before work.”
Vince Lombardi
Did you know that Fun comes after fumble and fumigate and before function? This reveals you need to have fun to function.
Turning another page at random, my eyes found Grave. Now that word has several meanings so I looked to see that it comes after Gratitude but before Gravy Train. The dictionary defines Gravy Train as a situation where someone can make a lot of money for little effort. That goes against Lombardi’s philosophy.
Humerus comes before humorous and could tickle the funny bone of the hummingbird. Perseverance arrives ahead of persimmon who still finds persistence up ahead. Doofuss and doohickey wait before doorway with doorsteps and doorstops ahead.
I found a photo of a pontoon already landed and waited for a pony to arrive with a woman in a poodle skirt whose hair played in a poof. She wanted to meet the Pooh Bah as he walked off the plane to a plateau of possibility. A paramour played possum and purchased a postage stamp.
Stroll with your eyes in the dictionary. Play with words today!
