A rose by any other name will smell as sweet, sure. But if you give a rose a name like, say, “smick,” and you have a celebrity go on TV and say smicks are passé and tacky, and then you sell long stemmed smicks for 5 cents at the discount store, I guarantee you that sophisticated people will sneer at the ones who exclaim, “Yippee, cheap smicks!”
You crack me up! I did an exercise like this in college. I still have it somewhere. We had to substitute made up words for real words and write a paragraph. It was fun!

ReplyDeleteReally cute post! And thanks for the reminder. I need to put the soaker hoses on my smicks today.
