Not Scrabble

lyrics

NOT SCRABBLE!

Let the rabble babble and do battle at Scrabble,
Mumbling, fumbling towards linguistic jumble.
And if you want something more gripping to unravel,
Than watching your Monopoly properties crumble,
Here’s an activity you can do on rainy afternoons;
I relish it more than polishing spoons.

In fact, this game’s often a hoot to play.
It’s a tradition of mine on Boxing Day.
I like to do it after breakfast or brunch.
So when you’re ready, cut up a bunch
Of words and some random phrases,
Snipped from magazines and other places.
Stick them in a suitable receptacle!
A jar or hat is quite acceptable.
Then take out a few at random.
However, don’t leave it like that!
You may act with abandon!
Stick them together, rearrange them,
And see what occurs.
Nonsense most likely!
A jellyfish in furs?
But whatever the outcome,
It’s always fun,
A giggle, and a laugh.
The last time I put:
A cup of cake in the bath!
