Nursing & Rhyming in Lipogram

Jack and Jill did go up a hill to grab a pail of liquid.
Jack did fall down and smash his crown.
And Jill did so also (although that girl had no crown to crack).

An itsy bitsy arachnid did go up an aquatic spout.
Rain did drop and wash that arachnid out.
That solar disk did visit to dry up all that rain.
And that itsy bitsy arachnid did try it again.

Baa Baa black ruminant mammal do you own any wool?
Yup, sir. Yup, sir. Just short of four bags full.
A bag for my boss.
And a bag for that broad.
And a bag for that small boy who has a habitat down our road.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a significant fall.
All our king's stallions and all our king's manpanions
Couldn't put Humpty into a condition of unity again!

It's raining, it's pouring;
That old man is snoring.
Hit his noggin;
And that guy laid down;
And that guy couldn't stand up in that following morning.
Rain, rain, go away
Visit again a distinct day;
Small Johnny wants to play.

Mary had a small lamb, small lamb, small lamb,
Mary had a small lamb, its fur was light as snow.
And all spots that Mary got to, Mary got to, Mary got to,
And all spots that Mary got to, that lamb was no doubt to go.
It did follow Mary to school on an occasion, school on an occasion, school on an occasion,
It did follow Mary to school on an occasion, which was against standards.
It was causing kids to laugh and play, laugh and play, laugh and play,
It was causing kids to laugh and play to look at a lamb at school.

Oath of Loyalty

I affirm my loyalty, to a flag, of this harmonious association-- my country -- and to that administration for which it stands, a unitary nation with instruction from God, that will not split, with no arbitrary control and with fair actions towards all.

Famous Quotations

If I had my way (as I think I should), this topic would (and will) occur again and again on this blog...

With that, I put forward a handful of quotations, in lipogram format, that Gadsby and I thought of as a group of two:

- I got to a location; I saw; I won.

- Upon raining, it also pours.

- If at first you do wrong, try again.

- Allow common folk to swallow floury stuff with icing!

- Post-birth, absorb wisdom and information.

- That guy who laughs last lasts.

- If in Italy, acting as Italians do is okay.

With that, I say goodnight.

Holidays for Blogging

I was happy to find that many holidays I fancy most conform to this Blog's abdication of that particular symbol. To boot, I saw that symbols and things that accompany said holidays in my mind also adapt to our standards. How uncanny!
As particular illustrations:
(i) my birthday (along with icing, party hats, clowns, and balloons);
(ii) Gadsby's birthday (which is upcoming this month and at which icing, party hats, clowns, and balloons will also visit);
(iii) National Corndog Day (including hoops to watch and dogs, tots, and hops-drinks for consumption);
(iv) Christmas (along with carols, Santa, gifts, hot cocoa, and ho-ho-hos); and
(v) Saint Patrick's Day (plus hops-drinks with spinach coloring, shamrocks, and Irish traditions).

I could go on, but, alas, I must sign off.
Ta ta,
Flo

Thanks for that salutation, Gadsby

You may ask, "why floccinaucinihilipilification"? Simply put, that word has many symbols, but not that particular symbol that I shun on this Blog.
You may also ask, "what is 'floccinaucinihilipilification''s import?" It is an act or habit of saying or thinking a thing is without worth: http://www.alphadictionary.com/goodword/word/floccinaucinihilipilification.
Happy blogging.
