Mavens & money

 

Husband sells amplifier!                         (3/9/15)      


Maven is as maven does,

Amplifies, becomes the buzz.

Forward march and buy that amp,

plug it in, play like a champ.

What the maven chooses, buys,

must be best, they all surmise.



*R is a maven, I decided after reading Malcolm Gladwell.

Moolah Alternative Pome, or Catalogers Love Old Vocab     (3/16/15)


I work and work and work all weeks

to get us few more spondulix.*

I do not need to do this now,

could leave this job and just say 'ciao'!

Another spelling, "spondulicks"

allows for rhyming with deep six.

The origin, I hear, is Greek --

I know this pome is somewhat weak.

Let's try to laugh, accommodating

the word that is so antiquating.



*Working in a library improves one’s vocabulary (and brain). Spondulix is 19th century slang for moolah, cash, specifically a reasonable amount of spending money. Money and retirement were clearly on my mind.
