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 …
boutade [boo-TAHD] noun
an outbreak
or burst, esp. of temper
He held it …
held it … then boutade!
His friends
considered this so odd—
He was, he’d
said, a man of God.
But this, I
guess, I’ve learned this week—
That even
when pure peace they seek
Well, even
holy ones can freak.
