“Yuck It Up”
Dunno about you, but I’m needing a bit of levity this week, so I’d like you to play around with a fun and funny-sounding word: YUCK
As a noun, you wouldn’t wanna step in it. As an adjective, it can be one of a child’s very first words: yucky. As a verb, it can mean “to laugh heartily.”
So yuck it up (fool around, act so as to cause laughter)…or poem about something that makes your gag reflexes go wild.
Shel Silverstein, from Falling Up
Yuck-A-Doodle-Doo!
Shh, he’ll hear you.
Worst that could happen,
Nat, he cleans up. When
I was a pup, I learned clean-sheen.
I mean, he’s the only rooster
with scent you can’t
forget. Sorry for those
chickens, though they’re catty
-nasties.
This is so clever! And those catty chickens…well. 🙂

Roosters are smelly
and billygoats reek
it upsets my belly
their future is bleak.

That’s true for now
but take that brown cow
she expels noxious gas
she’ll never pass.
