Exercise #20

by

Hey, it’s the 20th Saturday Night Exercise! Very cool. In honor of that, I am posting musical inspiration in the form of a YouTube video featuring music by one of my favorite artists. This is “Wordplay” by Jason Mraz.

Where is the exercise? Listen to how he plays with words. Now try writing a song or poem (slam poetry is a lot of fun) with the same sort of joy at playing with linguistics.
