Dear Blogland,
Iโm feeling really mischievous, I hope you donโt mind. Part of my mischief began yesterday, in a very quick late night post (here in England) where I planted a little seed. Iโm doing it again nowโฆ
Planting another earworm, that is! Iโve linked to YouTube above, to one such earworm.
Earworms are awesome, with just that โrightโ song!
I have no idea how long my Inner Imp will be in residence, but heyโฆ enjoy. And sing along. All day.
Dear Computer,
Yes, I know that updates are needed. Yes, Iโm aware that there are imps and gremlins and hackers and bots and undesirables out there who do nothing apart from pick their trawl the interweb trying to snatch as much personal data as they possibly can. Yes, I know all that. Could I ask that you become a tad more awesome, and just update when Iโm not using the computer? This is my connection to the outside world, and it isnโt much fun whilst you are rumbling and pingling away in the corner and Iโm looking at nothing move on the monitor. Sometimes, I feel dial-up was quicker due to some of these updates.
Dear The Weather,
How awesome have you been lately? Glorious Sunrises, bright (although chilly โ especially by The Lake!) days, and longer lighter evenings! Fabulous! You really are showing me that Spring is almost here!
Dear Words,
I know that palindromes, such as reviver, are words that are spelt the same front to back and back to front, which is quite awesome in itself. Noon is an even better palindrome as it is pronounced the same backwards as well as forwardsโฆ and it is also the same upside down! However, I have just discovered that a semordnilap is a word that is spelt in reverse to another, but has a totally different meaning, such as god and dogโฆ although pat and tap could be considered similar. Semordnilap is a semordnilap of palindromes, as they are both the same word reversed but with different meanings. Now, what is the name for a word that is spelt the same forwards and backwards, but pronounced differently in reverse? Noon isnโt a good example here, but Iโm sure there must be someโฆ to boot, to boot!
Dear The Word โExtramundaneโ,
To me, you donโt sound like what you actually mean, which is โoutside or beyond the physical worldโ. Mind you, I always thought of โmundaneโ as being boring or dull, but it has another meaning, which is related to the realm in which we mere mortals live in, and not the heavenly or spiritual plains. I think I will add you as a point of reference to my blog, which I feel must be bordering the extramundane. Itโs certainly beyond anything normal, thatโs for sure!
Dear Earworms,
I just canโt get you out of my head!
Dear Awesome Earworms,
Awโฆ you are almost anagrams of each other. Just add an extra R at the end of awesome, to make it awesomer, or more awesome, and discreetly morph the other R into the other E (or the other way around) and you are perfect.
Dear, Erm, Earworms,
Mahna mahna! Donโt worry, be happyโฆ the lion sleeps tonight. Who let the dogs out? It wasnโt me. Poker face. Donโt you forget about me. Under pressure. Come on, Eileenโฆ let it go!
Dear Blogland,
What do you mean? It has nothing to do with me. I just type away. And away.
And Finally, Dear Time,
You have ran away from me once again. Could you, just once, run towards me? Or maybe run alongside me? Or, now hereโs a biggie, just stop running for a couple of hours a day so we can fit a little more in? Much appreciated.
Thank you for reading,
P.S. As time is fleeting, and I feel as though Iโve walked five hundred miles or more, Gangnam style to Mambo Number Five, no less, Iโve reached the end of yet another Letters To The Universe post. Yes, I know it is now almost midnight here in the UK, but you can blame time for that, not me. And as this is the final countdown to the end, hereโs a photo of a friendly looking imp found on Pixabayโฆ
โฆ well, you canโt stay mad for long knowing that something that looked as cute as that made me do it, can you?
