Reading in the garden –
Activity 1
Alliteration
Even notice how many
cartoon characters have alliterated monikers. Woody Woodpecker. KO KO
the Klown. Betty Boop. Duffy Duck. Tom Terrific. Pepe Le Pew. Mickey
Mouse. Clyde Crashcup. TinTin Dudley Do-Right Count Chocolate, Tony
the Tiger, Captain Crunch (boy I loved that stuff, three bowl in the
morning a good time was to be had by all) Superman’s girlfriends
were all alliteraty. Lana Lang from Smallville, Lois Lane reporter
for the Daily Planet, Lori Lemaris, a mermaid from the sunken city of
Atlantis Lyla Llerol, an actress from the bottle-city of Kandor, and
Lena Luthor, Lex Luthor's sib. Sufferin' succotash.
Drip
Drip.
Drip.
Drip.
Drip.
Drip.
The faucet on the bathroom sink is leaking.
I get out of bed, walk to the bathroom, and
tighten the knob.
And then go back to bed.
The water company will probably charge us more
this month.
Not because of the wasted water, mind you. They
have plenty of water.
Too much water, and it's gone to their heads.
Now, instead of charging people for the water they
use, they hold everybody ransom with the threat of opening the valves
at night and drowning you in your sleep.
It starts with a drip, I hear.
Drip.
Drip.
Drip.
Glass beads
When you're done working a glass bead in the
torch, you can't just drop it in a cooling blanket.
You need to cool it slowly so it doesn't cool too
quickly.
If the bead cools too quickly, it'll break as it
cools or weaken it so it will eventually break from stress fractures.
You need to cool it gradually to relieve those
stresses.
That is why we must anneal it in the kiln.
It's kinda like life, really. Taking time to cool
down properly.
Now put down that knife and get off the ledge
slowly, please. You're making a scene.
