Greenwood Grammar

Abstract

I don't know whether these (mostly) four-line verses of rhymed couplets deserve to be called recreational linguistics - but it has been fun comping them! There are many more figures of speech which could have been similarly treated; perhaps other Word Ways readers would care to try. These quatrains have the named figure of speech built in as an example: I hope the additional commons don't belabor the point too much. My thanks to the editor for improvements on some of the verses.
