Limerick Ode To Dictionary Day
\nBy Madeleine Begun Kane<\/p>\n

At this moment, I’m feeling quite spurred
\nTo just soak up a new-to-me word.
\nLest you think I’m all wet,
\nI have reasons — don’t fret:
\nWebster’s birthday’s today, so I’m stirred.<\/p>\n

Have you any new words to suggest?
\nOne that’s odd or obscure would be best.
\nSomething wickedly cool,
\nLike “facinorous.” Who’ll
\nHelp ensure that my word need’s addressed?<\/p>\n

****<\/p>\n
