Hobbo's Poems
A quirky look at life from a Yorkshire poet and his dog's perspective
Scrabble
Scrabble Shun simplicity, use apricity; the warmth of a wintery sun; or for more, borborygmus; that rumbling sound in your tum. There's a word for everything in our flamboyant languauge, like the ever ebullient brie in a cheese and pickle sandwich.
