A poem about collective nouns

Selected poems

An Invention of Collective Nouns

A reckoning of spreadsheets.
A distraction of smartphones.
A prattle of podcasts.
A mispronunciation of scones.

A clique of photographers.
A heard of precedents.
An enjambment of
poets. A grope of presidents.

A pile of haemorrhoids.
A bunion of personal trainers.
A bout of estimations.
A condescension of mansplainers.

A stroke of geniuses.
A spot of adolescents.
An embarrassment of Richards.
A collection correction of pedants.

    Sorry Brian I just can’t resist.

    A spell of magicians

    A prescience of mediums

    A folly of Larks

    A stretch of prisoners

    An ignominy of debtors

    A syzygy of heavenly bodies!

    A contention of bones

    A shadow of gnomon

    sorry 😞
