AT LAST—We’ve now
commenced our third—and final—journey through Webster’s 3rd. This time, I’m
picking a word near the middle of each entry for each letter—a word that
interests me for some reason or a word I’d not ever known before—and
surrounding it with a frayed coat of doggerel.
Words that flew into
my life from Webster’s 3rd.
vespal adj
of or relating to wasps
His vespal
fears were so profound
He chose to
dwell far underground—
A cavern he
had freshly found.
And there he
lived for many years—
And slowly
all those vespal fears
Retreated—as
did all his peers,
Who thought him just a little weird—
A cavern
life for what he feared?
(And then
there was that knee-length beard!)
Forgetting why he had moved there,
He took a
trip up to the air,
Where wasps
were waiting, and I swear
They stung
that dude until he died.
I found a
moral (cuz I tried):
If you fear
wasps, don’t go outside!
