It is a shame
That we seek fame
As our main aim,
Or maybe just as often,
Avoiding all the blame.
Common-tarry (wait for it…)
[I do not refer to being covered with tar, though that is spelled the same way. To tarry is to wait/abide.]
This commentary (the pun’s reveal) is about why these posts happen.
My rhymes are made public here in addition to appearing as posts using Mastodon, a part of the federated tools of the “Fediverse”.
I am very grateful to all who stop by here. It is fun to get the recognition of a “like” from some people, too. It is nice to know that I’m not tooting out into a void.
The category which seems to catch the eye of others is “poetry”. Now, lets be clear about it, I don’t really feel poetic when I compose these rhymes. They are part of my brain’s pattern of playing with language as sound.
As noted above, my wordplay also involves puns. That combination of rhyme an pun may not be poetry, but it’s the category which seems to fit.
Recognition is great. Thanks to all of you.
Fame need not happen.
