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
liga noun [LIE-juh]
any of
several filefishes
He sought a
liga—long his dream—
But not for
reasons it would seem.
No, not for
food or bragging rights—
And not for
crazy fish-tank fights.
No, he was
going nuts at work:
He lacked a decent filing clerk.
