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.
