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 …
cofferfish noun
boxfish [so called from its boxlike body]
The
cofferfish did not wear socks—
He had no
feet, unlike a fox.
He tried to
stay away from rocks—
Did not
invest in risky stocks.
But he was
caught by Goldilocks.
Then ... irony (not paradox):
His bones
they buried in a box.
