The Limits of Language: a rant.

 From the Culture Vulture catalogue, an offer of a plate. It has writing on it.

It says:

The Giving Plate

This plate shall have no owner

for its journey never ends

the food that's placed upon it is made for 

all to share

So pass it on with

Love and care

*****

Its journey never ends?

Not if I drop it, it won't.

In any case, I do wish the designer had made up his or her mind about whether the inscription was going to rhyme or not. 

Especially as ends rhymes so obviously with friends.

Pah!

Word To Use Today: any you like, as long as you don't put them on a plate. The word plate, or something very similar, has described flat things since Ancient Greek times, when it was platus.
