12/01/20 Grif.Net - Caution: Words at Play
Robert Griffin
[First-of-the-month word plays are always fun!]
A fellow I know composes songs about sewing machines. He’s a Singer songwriter (or sew it seams).
After playing guitar for years I thought I could learn to play the piano. Found out it’s not an easy instrument to pick up.
I asked the doctor if I could administer my own anesthetic. He said, “Sure, go ahead. Knock yourself out.“
My son kept chewing on electrical cords so I had to ground him. He’s doing better currently and conducting himself properly.
