deckardcanineThe latest Style Invitational contest involves working one or more of 38 examples of Merriam-Webster's latest word additions into a poem of up to eight lines. I considered alluding heavily to Free Solo in a poem about that term, but it wasn't grabbing me. I also thought about using my knowledge of cinematic stingers, but someone else would likely have the same idea. Then I remembered a song I heard part of earlier today and decided to parody it:
If you like faking adventure and getting caught in a trap,
If you dig solving puzzles taking more than a snap,
If you like doing lots of teamwork and keeping neurons in shape,
Well, I know this escape room; come with me and escape!
That seemed a little sparse, so I submitted a less musical (yet musical-related) entry as well:
A great actress and singer is Rita Moreno.
Not everyone respects her, but eh, what do they know?
Only one other person has gotten what she got:
The Triple Crown of Acting as well as the EGOT.
