Caret, Carat, Carrot
One’s an insertion,
The next is a weight,
The last is a veggie with peas on your plate.
You’re welcome. I hope that’s helpful.
I got the idea from Ogden Nash, who wrote:
The one-l lama, He’s a priest.
The two-l llama, He’s a beast.
And I will bet
A silk pajama
There isn’t any three-l lllama.
These are much more useful, I think than the old “i before e except after c” ditty which really doesn’t hold up if you’re talking about a neighbor whose feisty foreign dog has seized you weirdly by the vein in your foot!
Hopefully that never happens to you! I’ll let you know if I come up with any more useful verse.

I’ve been invited by my local library to set up a table for their Summer Reading Kickoff outdoor event on the same day that The Most Amazing Museum of Los Angeles will be released: June 1st! I’ll be selling and signing books, giving away bookmarks, and all in front of my mother’s name on Sonya L. Margerum City Hall. She was mayor for 24 years. She also read early drafts of the book and said she could just picture it as a movie. Miss you, Mom!
