In use: “Household pets — dogs, cats, and the bird — were floofspread — on the carpet in sunshine, in beds, on chairs and laps, and sprawled across part of the sofa — a happy scene for all concerned, bringing smiles to faces, wags to tails, and purrs to the air.”
Interfloofcutor
Interfloofcutor (floofinition) – An animal who takes part in a dialogue or conversation.
In use: “Of course the bird was always an interfloofcutor, whether the conversation was on Zoom, a phone, or in person, but her participation always woke the cats, who also needed to join conversation, which brought out the Husky, who then added his opinions.”
The Beer Loop
Devil don’t rhyme with evil
But mirror rhymes with beer
Their sounds like there but
Where sounds like wear
and both sound like ware
Which makes it hard to bare
especially if you’re a bear
Care rhymes with stare
which also sounds like stair
They all rhyme with chair
which only seems fair
But the fair offers fare
Which many are willing to share
Except Cher who gets scared
when Donna cuts her hair
Chris is a liar
Who won’t leave his lair
He stares into his drink
And thinks
Devil don’t rhyme with evil
But mirror rhymes with beer
