A Paddle’s A Paddle

I like words. Which is helpful when it comes to writing blogs and songs.

Sometimes I instinctively want to use a word (usually of the longer, more posh variety) which feels like it’s the right one to use. But I’m not completely sure.

So I look up the definition.

Often my instincts are correct. (I think I might have swallowed a dictionary once).

But sometimes they’re not. Sometimes the word doesn’t even exist.

It’s at that point when I find myself up shit creek without a hydro-displacementory stickthingy.
