Amusing little piece about rice milk (8)
I believe the answer is:
limerick
'amusing little piece' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'about rice milk' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates an anagram.
'rice'+'milk'='ricemilk'
'ricemilk' anagrammed gives 'LIMERICK'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for limerick that I've seen before include "Humorous poem from the Treaty City?" , "Short amusing verse" , "Witty poem from mid-western Irish city" , "Humorous short poem" , "Irish county's produced" .)
