“LOST FOR WORDS” – by Des Kelly
Even if this IS a repeat, and even the National News is repeated so very much, these days, I am completely lost for words, so with thanks to Ralph Baker & Keith Bennett, I will now move on to Keith & his Lexophiles as he calls them, and let you good people enjoy our repeat, if indeed it IS one.

Lexophiles
“Lexophile” is a word used to describe those that have a love for words, such as ……………..
“you can tune a piano, but you can’t tuna fish”, or “to write with a broken pencil is pointless.”
A competition to see who can come up with the best lexophiles is held every year.
This year’s winning submission is posted at the very end.
