APR 10, a brief saga (wordplay): Claire's celerity

 

Authors' Note: As there is no etymological commonality, wordpairs of similar appearance, but unrelated origins, may have disparate meanings and usages; this is certainly the case for: 

celerity / celery,

gravity / gravy,  

cavity / cavy,

and levity / levy, examples discussed in he above verse.
