Random Thoughts

Did Pavlov think of feeding his dog every time he heard a bell ring?

Did Pavlov think of feeding his dog every time he heard a bell ring?

Maybe. But if so, his neighbours would be mightily confused on Sunday mornings. "I keep telling him it's time for Church, and he said 'Not now, I'm feeding my dog!'"

Anyway, I heard a Viennese waltz on the radio this morning, and it gave me a random idea: what rhymes with Vienna? So I dashed off a bit of doggerel:

If I always behave
and work like a slave,
and not listen to Kylie Jenner,
I might drink chocolate maltz
and dance Danube Waltz
and Maybe I'll get to Vienna.

Then my brain said, "Fine. Now do Salzburg." =P And I thought, gosh, this is difficult. What rhymes with that?

There once was a man from old Salzburg
who said "I will drink chocolate malts-burg!"
He hemmed and he hawed
and timber he sawed
and said "Gee, what else rhymes with Salzburg?"

The end is a bit meta, but meh. *shrug* Finding good rhymes for place names (i.e. not something like "Salzburg" and "Augsburg", which don't really rhyme) is hard.

How about that musical keyboard called the pienna?

I'm psyching myself up for a day of writing...
