The Wonderful + Weird World Of Words ... Boggles The Mind

________________________________________________________________________________________________

To be in love,

to be wed,

et al

you need a betrothal

 

Throughout your family

this bold word

will be heard:

 

BETROTHAL

 

And if

—to you—

it's all the same,

let's reduce it to

a word game

To quote Dr. C.I. Scrabble"

You don't need a goggle

to play Boggle

and you don't need a wig

to think big

 

And 

what is really cool:

I assume you know

the Boggle rule:

—forming subsets of the original word—

the longer and bigger

newly formed words are

the better the chances of victory

***

****

*****

 

B-E-T-R-O-T-H-A-L

and you get

throb

broth

bloat

...

...

breath

bother

BROTHEL

 

To poeticize

forming a "subset"

—let me say—

one thing to another

does segue

 

That

BETROTHAL

segues into

BROTHEL

makes the mind

Wiggle and Woggle

which might name

two employees of

such an establishment

😋😋😋
