Gibbering- Challenge

English relies heavily on phonetics and sounds. A few centuries ago people didn't have dictionaries and made up spelling according to the sounds they heard- that is to say very creativly. Somehow our brains are able to figure out what it means (to some extent). Write a poem, verse, prose, riddle or anything you like and make the spelling a little wacky or a tad silly- without losing its meening.

    To live in a space among the stars
    I'd have to float to school in cars.

    down
    her stem and
    tickled a leaf.
