Written for RDP, where sgeoil asks us
to get creative with the word “ship-shape”.
Thanks, Heather! Here’s where the prompt took me.
Happy Monday, my peeps! Can you quickly say this tongue twister even once?
“If a ship-shaped ship shop stocks
six ship-shaped shop-soiled ships,
how many ship-shaped shop-soiled ships
would six ship-shaped ship shops stock?”
