Some Synonyms

by Aina Zabinski, Editor

The synonym for standing still

Is staying put by one’s own will,

Waiting, frozen, stopped, unmoving,

Watching stock-still disapproving,

Working as a living statue,

Or a tableau that’s formed on cue.

A synonym for doughnut? Well

Let me think upon that a spell.

This isn’t easy. Wait, I’ve got it!

A wheel-shaped pastry that’s fried

A bit.

What is the synonym for two?

That’s quite simple: it’s me plus you.

A synonym for cloud could be

White wisps of air just floating free,

Or puffy cotton candy shapes

That you spot watching

Sky landscapes.

The synonym for synonym?

That’s much too difficult. Ask him!
