Tepid on the heels of “These are a few of my favorite words, Part I”, it’s Part II! II times the furor. II times the excitement! II times the number of words!

Today you get to choose between the following un-related p-words:

peripatetic

peregrinate

These don’t have any great potential for rich image and metaphor. They are just fun to say, use, and be pretentious with. Pretension deploy!

Whilst in Europe, we enjoyed a peripatetic lifestyle.

Comments

My dog, he is peripatetic
He constantly peregrinates
When we go for a walk
At every block
He grins while he urinates

I find that I should not have waited
for cancer to have peregrinated.
Flashing a peripatetic grin
a new tumor metastastrolls in.
Antioxidants! Faith healing! Belated.

I strolled along once with Aristotle,
who’s philosophies pushed me to throttle,
And with his last breath,
He bored me to death,
“Keep your thumbs closer in towards the middle.”

Seems on topic to me, but you probably should have used peripatetic in the title. English teacher look

Metastastrolls. So sinister and yet so nonchalant.

Reminds me of one of my favorite Calvin strips. Calvin is wonderig what to do if someone were to call himself and Hobbes a “pair’o pathetic peripatetics”, unto which Hobbes drops a comment about the likeliness of the event and the merit in worryig about it too much. Says Calcin, “but shouldn’t we have a ready retort?” Anyway, I’m too hungry to rhyme right now – sorry. :o)

Calvin needs to search within himself and discover that a water balloon is always a ready retort.

Thanks for sharing that one, I don’t think I’d read it.
