Dear Word Snoop,
Which word do you like better - hail, snow, sleet or rain? I like them all. But maybe snow the best.
yours sincerely, Gerald
Dear Gerald,
You have picked some great words! I think I like hail. But then, that's because I like words with "h" in them...
Talking of snow - you know how we say "it snowed" - well did you know back six or seven hundred years ago people said: "it snew"? A poet from those times called Robert Mannynge wrote this in his poem "Chronicle": (remember spelling was different then too)
"Also thikke as snow that snew,
Or also hail that stormes blew."
Thick as snow that snew, what a great line!
from your sincere pal, The Word Snoop
It snew! It sounds a bit Scottish, where it might snew as well.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly makes a good impression in a Scottish accent!
