Words in a sentence are like beads on a string. You can choose large ones, tiny ones, and any size in between. As with beads, you have a choice of many types, in this case nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and more. Your words can be plain or colorful. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to string the words below with other words of your choosing to fashion a sentence, several sentences, a paragraph, several paragraphs, a poem, or even a short story. Each week, this space will present 5 words, randomly pulled from a dictionary of approximately 10000 basic English words. Variety Doze Technical Polar Fossil Whew! This is a difficult combination of words. I was burning the midnight oil, and fighting the urge to doze off.

This new evidence debunked the myth that dinosaurs only inhabited damp, steamy, swampy areas.
