“Variety is the spice of life”

Form it in lines with a knife

You can say the same thing a hundred ways

And it’ll take a lifetime of days

Share the gossip, “spill the tea”

Contemplate every possibility

It’s a good time to hit the hay

Ou “se pieuter” si vous parlez français

Think of every euphemism

You’re bound to get an aneurysm

A hundred similes, an extended metaphor,

A heap of analogies, yet we want more.

We say “sprung,” “whipped,”

“smash and dipped”

“Netflix and chill”

“time to kill”

Words are a thrill,

Even when they bring strife.Variety is the spice of life.
