Loud Clashing Symbols
One Sunday we sang the hymn, “Earth and All Stars.” The second verse proclaims – “Trumpet and pipes! Loud clashing cymbals! Sing to the Lord a new song!”
But the person who typed the lyrics for the screen projector wrote, “clashing symbols.”
I got the giggles. I poked my poor hubby and whispered, “It’s like a comment from one of my critique buddies telling me I’m mixing metaphors. Clashing symbols. Get it?”
I was giggling all day. Maybe it’s just warped writer humor, but I love the image of my writing being full of loud symbols that offer the Lord a new song.
Do you ever find delight in a typo?
Blessings,
