A to Z Challenge: # 9 : I for Ingenious and Ingenuous
Is it stumbs
(is there such a word?)
Or is it stumps
A pair of words that gets
one stumped
Or is it to stumble
(there is such a word!)
To fall head over heels
and end up in a blob
Or is it remnants meaning stumps
of a broken tooth or tree branch
Utterly confusing
When it comes to spelling!
Is it ingenious
Being clever to no end
Intelligent,inventive and resourceful
Or is it ingenuous
Being naïve,innocent and artless
An easy target for a con man
Where one is blessed with a
photographic mind
Just a glance at the word
Is enough to determine
Whether its spelling is right or wrong
Otherwise it is akin to a situation
Where one is writing at the
Whiteboard in front of the class
The spelling is correct but still
It appears incorrect
Unless viewed from a distance
Utterly confusing
When it comes to spelling!
For A to Z Challenge
Great post and a pleasure to read.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
ha. grammar alludes me quite often more than spelling, though spelling it seems has slipped quite a bit since my day...text speak has taken over...
ReplyDeleteGrammar can be something that looks right but is wrong, a conundrum
ReplyDeleteCan stumble with words easy and give the sentence a whole new meaning, sometimes not the best one either
ReplyDeleteclever post. I read back to A and enjoyed your writing. Thanks for visiting me. It's all an adventure. Happy A to Z
ReplyDeleteFun post, I'm horrible at grammar and would be in big trouble without spell checker :)
ReplyDeletewow great post! I really enjoyed that! Thanks for linking up with us today!
ReplyDeleteღ husky hugz ღ frum our pack at Love is being owned by a husky!
Wouldn't want to end up in a blob
ReplyDeleteOr sound like my uncle Bob
Spelling is not my thing, Mr Rainbowman
It gets me confused like without a plan
Great post!
Thanks Blue Grumpster!
DeleteOther bigger things do matter
Spelling just a moot point
Can guess the word by looking
rather than take our attention!
Hank
so right!!
