Sometimes the alliteration is more than I can bear. This is one such instance. Way beyond my ken.

And subjugate, which my 9th grade Latin teacher, Mr. Daley, may he rest in peace, said was an actual ceremony of making defeated armies pass under a yoke.
I learned about Zeugma and other classic and persistent figures from Mr. Daley. Then I recognized Zeugma in this line from the comic song, Madeira, M'Dear, by Flanders and Swann:
She made no reply, up her mind, and a dash for the door.
It is always interesting to find Indoeuropean descendants in Semitic languages

We have a president, Obama
In school he majored in pharma
He’s screwing us over
And Reggie his lover
With the help of his baby mama.

Some minds are simply deeper (or more convoluted) than others. Here's an award for deep thought.

It is partly cloudy, 89 with only a light breeze-by 1:00 it was too hot and still to be working outdoors, so we left off for the day...
Hillary’s regal pretentions
Are now becoming so intense
She has lost her camouflage
Along with her common sense
With regal disdain she says
Putting her nose in the air
You will wait for my speech-
Steps into rudeness and snare
Of her very own manufacture-
An error Bill wouldn’t commit
A zeugma of both feet forward
Also putting them into s*** ...
Does that work?

I heard someone on Fox news yesterday refer to Hillary as “queen” when describing her dodging that female interviewer’s question with her proclamation of you’ll have to watch my interview-I thought that was funny and appropriate...

I don’t call her queen, unless it’s Queen Bitch.

My first sentence was supposed to contain a zeugma, unless I missed the Zeugma boat!!!!

Queen bitch, queen of mean, the red queen-I like queen bitch best, but I think any are appropriate except for queen Marie Antoinette-that is reserved for Michelle the grifter...
