A sign in [the cafe] proclaimed a table to be “REVERVED.” Seriously?
Another colleague, Aaron, wrote:
Reserved for someone revered? Or just verved multiple times?
I wrote:
It’s almost like reserved, reversed!
Tyler responded:
Perhaps. It was reserved, but now it’s not, so the situation, one might say, has been reverved.
Then I contributed this:
A verse:
A sign on a table, “Reverve”
Was written by someone with nerve
Was the writer just spelling-averse?
Or did they intend we’d converse
On the subjects “reverse” and “revere”
While away from our jobs we would veer?
Well, no more! I do hereby aver
I’m done with “reverve” fore-ver
