Do you mean because I put waddle in the past tense? I think that should be allowed. Just as well as making a plural or singular out of a word. Otherwise many a poem might not make sense. We aren't changing the meaning of the word; just correcting the grammer to suit the poem.

Move over X files; here comes the X word trials!

Words: X chromosome, xenophobia, x-ray, xylem

X chromosome determines, specie gender everywhere.
But if scientists' used an x-ray,
The same results they'd get, I swear.
Without a lab, without test tubes,
Minus scientific laws and rules,
The variety tested would remain,
Plus, that testing's advantage,
Would be a huge financial gain.

And from xenophobia, I guess I suffer,
To some degree, most acutely,
I'm leary of strangers of foreign descent,
I fear danger quite absolutely.

A xylem conducts plants' water 'n salt,
From roots, to stems 'n leaves,
Like people, plants have vessels,
Which bolsters my reason to believe.

What I was referring to Edelweiss was adding the "d" to waddle, making it waddled. That is different. No biggy!!!

The Y chromosome measn a male,
the X chromosome means a female,
now what the heck is a chromesome anyway?

Since I myself suffer from a case of xenophobia,
I have to visit a specialist that helps heal most phobias.

In his office are plants sucking up water through theirxylem,
When there are many patients it sounds like an asylum.

In my head is my problem, thats what I know he'll say,
or possibly send me to the clinic for an cranialx-ray.

Maybe we should skip the XYZ's, LOL!!!! Just kidding. . .

Here are some Y's They are pretty simple words.

yacht, yak, yam, yank

Looks like party time is almost here! The zs will be ehre soon. You gals rock.

Hey Chatty,
Shouldn't we wait for Edelweiss3 to do X? Don't think her
contribution has been added as yet!

Edelweiss3, Why not combine X & Y in 1 poem? That way you'll be
caught up and with just one push!

Words: Yacht, yak, yam, yank

Yank on the rope,
Pull up our stocked anchor,
And launch the packed yacht,
'Cause for a ride, we doth hanker.

Yakety yak, don't talk back,
The ole folks gripe 'n mope.

What's for lunch grandma?
We ask, as we wonder.
Oh, now I recall when she moaned,
Baked yam, pineapple 'n ham.
And now I hunger for home.

With a strawberry smoothie,
In everyone's hand,
We'll glide down the river, with glee,
The ole pros, their new clan,
The kids, and hubby 'n me.

X chromosome, xenophobia, x-ray, xylem
yacht, yak, yam, yank

Two chromosones got together, and one asked the other,
“Where’s your partner?”
“You mean my X chromosome?”
“ Oh”
“Y sometimes you lose some chrom.”
“And then you win-some.”
“No chrom-o-some.”
“Oh.”

Hee hee…I made up this joke. Can you tell?
Hey gals, I got desperate.Now to the rest of these nasty words:

I developed xenophobia while stationed abroad,
I’m ashamed to admit it, please forgive me, God.
It developed while x-raying a 1000 yr. old Mormon
I swear his veins looked like a part of a xylem.

And now the next batch…

yacht, yak, yam, yank

The captain of the yacht groaned at his cargo
Cause his yak needed yam, it was a trade embargo.
So he steered to Portugal , where the yam grows wild
There he yanked it out; now on the deck it’s piled.

Edelweiss3,
I loved 'em! Your poems are excellent!!! Cool. So cool.

OH poop, didn't realize I chose the Y's before Edelweiss had done the X'x. SORRY!!! But anyone can jump in at anytime with any letter they like, right? Edelweiss you are so hot!!!

Heres my Y words...

I once went a sailing on a yacht,
the only music they would play was from Bach.

Our lunches were served to us as a fancy snack
we were so hungry from the fresh sea air, no one opened their mouth to yak.

The cook came to see if we wanted some grape jam,
Grape jam we all said, ick, you mean on our yam?

I believe instead of a cook they hired some scank,
who came uptop to give our chains a yank.

One of you two list the Z's please. Then are we going to begin again with the next four letters???

I didn't feel skipped over, chatty. I just jumped in, like always. After the Z words, I need to take a break...you girls can plough on without me, whatever. But with this new commission, I hardly have time to pee... and instead of that, I come here and right a poem. Good grief. So here are the Z words...my poem comes later:

z-list (noun) : a list or group of individuals of the lowest level of social standing or professional achievement
The local gossip columnist's stories are very boring because he only writes about local, z-list "celebrities."
