Lexicon Part 1

Here lies today's ... okay, that's patently far too grave-like. Here follows today's collection of pre-selected words - broken down for your convenience into adjectives that you can turn into adverbs if you please so to do, verbs and vaguely noun-like clauses - for you to do whatsoever you please with them. Mostly we're expecting you to form sentences that you might find comical in themselves (adjective, noun, verb, other noun - that sort of thing), in which case your work here is done, or you might be inspired to write a longer piece based on your chosen words.

(Articles and prepositions and the like not included.)

Please tell us in what way you've been inspired in the comments.
