Today, i was caught
In flagrante delicto
Playing with words
Can't plead innocent
When I'm guilty as charged

In flagrante delicto is Latin for "in blazing offense" 
in other words--"caught in the act" or "caught red-handed"

Wordplay is fun. I won't stop no matter how I'm decried for doing it. I have no talent at it, but I enjoy it very much. It's only possible because so many words in the English language have more than one meaning. Shakespeare knew. He was the master. If it's okay for him, it's okay for me. That's my thinking, anyway. So, blame me, the language, and Mr. Shakespeare.
