Galápagos

 

(or “A Spoonful of Sugar”)

Can you say “Galápagos”

with the proper accent?

It is quite rewarding.

You should try it.

It’s almost as much fun 

as saying the alliterative

“blue-footed booby” which 

is sillier though less exotic.

Calling Kurt Vonnegut silly 

would be silly or at 

the very least misguided.

He is definitely funny

but in most cases he is 

serious as a heart attack

and a stopped heart

is no laughing matter.

Unless you’re laughing 

yourself to death and

that death is your ego or

sense of self-importance.
