REFINE – REHASH

Good authors are keen to refine
Their writing, to make their prose shine.
They never rehash
Their juvenile trash,
But carefully polish each line.

CLAMBER – CLOGGED

In winter, when wheels may be clogged
And tractors on farms can get bogged,
You'll see people clamber
Past lights flashing amber
Up steep icy roads that are fogged.

OFFERING – ONEROUS

An offering tendered with piety
To the gods of some ancient society
Made an onerous rite
But assuaged divine spite
And conformed to religious propriety.

If you've just set your metronome ticking
And it keeps changing rhythm or sticking,
The base might be tilted
Or inner parts silted,
So don't simply give it a kicking.

If there's something not normal I spot,
I take out my notepad and jot
Its time and location
And more information.
The world's full of wonders, eh what?
