The Roue
A fresh bloom picked from the garden was his daily treat.
One day a simple tulip, upright and discreet.
Another day a floozie rose––her petals a bit blowsy.
Wisteria or cherry blossoms, drooping, shedding, drowsy.
Often he’d remarked to friends how romance was so fungible,
for with a garden fully stocked, each flower was expungeable.
The prompts for the day were blossom, remark, treat and fungible (mutually interchangeable) For fun, I’m also including this in Cee’s Flower of the Day. Yes, I know expungeable isn’t a word, but it should be, so I’m introducing it into the English language. Merriam-Webster take heed.

It is. I found out I have always been pronouncing it wrong! Using it correctly, though, which is what is noticeable in a blog. Phew.

Like my mother who mispronounced ‘misled’ all her life — or like me and the donzerly light in the national anthem!

Janet, “donzerly” is one of the best mondegreens I’ve heard in years! Love it! (If you’re not familiar with “mondegreen”, I urge you to check it out.)

How in the world did you ever learn that word?

I discovered “mondegreen” from spending entirely too much time puttering in the miscellaneous bins of the interwebz.

Donzerly was a 5-year-old’s mondegreen, as I learned the national anthem in school from the ears of a very British accent suddenly turned American! It took years to unscramble that one! And I love the word mondegreen — that’s a new one for me — thank you!

Hah! I just read the Wikipedia explanation of mondegreen — ‘donzerly’ shows up in their examples section. I really did hear it that way, and had never before now seen it as an example of anything!!!

Really? How funny.

Really! “Oh, say, can you see, by the donzerly light ~ ~ ~” I think it’s hysterical that it showed up in Wikipedia at all, much less as an example for mondegreen! After all, who but a 5 year-old hears it that way?!

Did you hear the line in the hymn “Let us to his bosom fly?” My sister asked my mother what a bosom fly was.

Never heard that one — but we didn’t go to church in those days. I think every kid (or at least every family) must have one of those ‘mondegreen’ questions!.

Well, it certainly *should* be a word!

Loved the fresh flowers every day. That would brighten a person’s life, if a person had fresh flowers available. Thanks for participating so often in Daily Addictions!

You are very welcome, Roger. The problem is, that the Roue changes and discards ladies as often as his flowers.
