Wordbirds, 35

We’ve commenced our journey backward through Webster’s 3rd. I’m picking a word near the end 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 …

rutty adj.

lustful

So rutty Roger had a plan—

A way to conquer womankind:

He’d figure out a way to ban

The way that women value mind.

But Roger’s plan went up in smoke—

It really had no chance to work.

For rutty Roger was a joke—

And also something of a jerk.

So Roger had no rutting—no,

Not any rutting in his life.

He failed with women (don’t you know?)—

And failed to find a willing wife.
