It is day 7 of the AtoZ Blogging Challenge of posting each day, except Sundays.
I have chosen to write a poem for each letter of the alphabet using some little known or little used words, and then doing a quick watercolor to go with the poem. Today we are on the letter H:
Humgruffin Hijinx
There once was a hungry humgruffin
Who loved to eat blueberry muffins
They made him act hobbish
Quite silly and slobbish
I surmise that curmudgeon was bluffin’.
His horrisonant rants were just hooey
He loved treats especially gooey
He craved a sweet jelly
Satiating his belly
And puddding just got him all dewey.
So to those who don't like being bitten
Bring him honey and he will be smitten
Like a sweets-loving boy
a hobbledehoy
With a purr like a sleepy-eyed kitten!

Did you know or figure out the H words? Most words I have found using the website "The Phrontisery". Here are the H words definitions in case you don't have the time or inclination to look them up:
Humgruffin - terrible person
Horrisonant - dreadful-sounding
Hooey - nonsense; humbug
Hobbish - clownish
Hobbledehoy - awkward; gawky youth
This took me all day, Wednesday, to try to finish. I had to go the the
bank and the pain was too distracting. I am hoping it will get under
control, or I will just be opting out on days I just can't do it. I
hate giving in, so we'll see. But this one I almost didn't get done.
It's the night before and I still "need to" do the watercolor. I don't
NEED TO do anything. I have to remember that. If you are so inclined I
would love prayers for healing.
