Poetic license

Tonight we covered the thirty-fourth question in the catechism:

What is not keeping God's law?
Not being or doing what God requires. Luke 10:31
We practiced it with Elisabeth by asking her, "What is not keeping God's law?"
She replied:
"Not being or doing what God acquires."
I tried to explain, "The word is requires, not acquires." To this she returned,
"But I like it better!"
I think that is where poetic license distorts meaning . . .

Katelyn's thing as of late is to create random, often repetitive, usually nonsensical, rhymes. It might go something like:

Pangey, pangy, tangy, pangey.
