What? I always thought monsoons had to do with rain.
So here is Definition # 2 of monsoon according to Merrimem-Webster: the season of the southwest monsoon in India and adjacent areas that is characterized by very heavy rainfall.
Is Korea adjacent to India? Let's just say yes. See that weather forecast? Chance of rain for the next 5 days. I think monsoons are part of the adventure!

A poem for monsoon season
*clears throat*
It is post-June
and we are experiencing a monsoon.
When it is high noon,
when it is a full moon,
it is raining forks and spoons!
One may say that it is inopportune,
but he is a buffoon!
Cheery is my tune,
because I am headed to Cancun!
Okay, I am not headed to Cancun, but it is difficult to find words that rhyme with monsoon. And, I think I just introduced the phrase, "it is raining forks and spoons" maybe it will become as popular as cats and dogs?
Could we just say, "it is raining sporks" and have the same idea communicated?
To Alissa in Korea,
ReplyDeleteGood Afternoon
This is just merely
A trial balloon
I hope you don’t think
That I am a loon
When I reply with a poem
About rhyming monsoon
With my rhymes I’ll not
Decorate or festoon
Or try to be fancy
Like some kind of tycoon
(I heard the Olympics
Will be coming there soon
You could see them yourself
If you stayed seven more Junes)
When I think of how tall you
Two are in Korea it’s like a lampoon
You two almost seem like you’re
Characters in an Anime cartoon
You could be ‘Lissa, the
Queen of Christmas Tunes
And Ian is Dian, the
Korean Daniel Boone
(Now I’ve forgotten
Why I started this rune
Perhaps I was bitten
By a rabid raccoon)
Was it something about
Trail mix featuring prunes?
Or Mothra emerging from
Her magical cocoon?
(Does Ian like that book
and movie called Dune?
Just last week Stan mentioned
That it ended too soon)
I guess I should finish
This crazy tune
I hope you liked my
Rhyming words with monsoon
Uncle Bill - this.is.amazing! You are way better at rhyming than me! I racked my brain for those that I did come up with! My favorite is raccoon - I did not even think of raccoon rhyming with monsoon! So clever.
