A blogsite offering entertaining daily oddities since January 2020. There are now over fifteen hundred posts in these four years. Images -- photographic, computer-simulated and poetic -- are drawn from daily life as well as from poems and wordplay grouped by topic on our parent blog "Edifying Nonsense". The poetry displayed is all original (as are the song-lyrics), although portions evolved through rigorous editing on a collaborative website.

Here are the NBC dancers warming up. |
A great venue, just lakeside of Toronto's renowned CN Tower! |
The programme, "Sharing the Stage" included other innovative groups, like this West African-troupe. |

JUL 25, homophonous verse: bypassed glitches
Authors' Note: Of course, the concept that bribes would be of benefit to authors submitting to OEDILF is patently nonsensical. There are a certain number of identity rhymes that appear in the database of edited verses there. The prosaic explanation, however, is that these bypassed initial glitches, being rather subtle in comparison with other flaws, are often under-observed and overlooked.
