Beat & Beet
I have to admit I find the phrase "beat poets" very funny. What did poets ever do to you?? :)
But I think there's a market (pardon the pun) for "beet poets" out there, too.
What about beat as in "dance to the beat"?
ReplyDeleteIsn't that essentially the same etymology as "beat you rhythmically with a beet"?
