Vocabula Quizzes

Who loves grammar and spelling?

I do, I do!

Who's embarrassed by how poorly she did on one of these tests?

I am, I am!

To my credit, there are two words in this world that I cannot spell. Occurred and scissors (it took me 45 minutes to write them correctly here). There are always words that, no matter how many times you see them, elude you on the page. And that doggone quiz just HAD to go and bring one of them up. Consarn it.

But What I Really Want to Be is a Couplet

Online quizzes are often just slapped together by someone with only the mildest interest in writing up fun questions. Not the What Poetry Form Are You? quiz. When a question asks, "Given the opportunity, what would you drop from a sixty-six story building?" and one of the answers is, "A cream bun," you know you're in good hands. What am I?

I'm terza rima, and I talk and smile. Where others lock their rhymes and thoughts away I let mine out, and chatter all the while. I'm rarely on my own - a wasted day Is any day that's spent without a friend, With nothing much to do or hear or say. I like to be with people, and depend On company for being entertained; Which seems a good solution, in the end.

Ignore the silly poems and just take the quiz instead. Thanks to Big A little a for the link. Looks like she and I have something in common. If anyone out there ISN'T a terza rima, I'd like to know.
