Happy Words

A ninja of the recondite…
Queasy pudding…
Codwalloping colossus…
Like Puritans and Papists…
In Shakespeare’s “King Henry IV, Part 2,” when the King says the rebels are fifty-thousand strong, Warwick gently chides him saying, “Rumour doth double, like the voice and echo, the numbers of the feared.”

sincere wishes

About JMN

I live in Texas and devote much of my time to easel painting on an amateur basis. I stream a lot of music, mostly jazz, throughout the day. I like to read and memorize poetry.
