Word For The Day, Tuesday January 17, 2017



In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of "Word for the Day".

crambo [kram-boh]

-n
1. a game in which one person or side must find a rhyme to a word or a line of verse given by another.

Trump will be president soon
On FRiday at high noon
Obama we’ll crambo
From his reign on the ambo
Leaving him to bay at the moon.

I try to get my lines just so
That the word for the day will go
At the end
So to lend
A bit of challenge like a crambo

The beams are all in at the restaurant. Walls have gone up, the bar was framed......things are moving really fast. My daughter took on the task of converting the former porch into her office. She insulated the walls and put in laminate flooring they salvaged from the main room. She has been putting up wall board, too. Even the contractors were in awe as she used a table saw. So proud of her.

Funny, the MSM, even Fox, has not covered the acid attacks they have planned. Nor have I seen anything else about the cache of weapons found down by the Potomac

Some people will just crambo
And think it full of style
Like they’re a literary Rambo
But they’re just Juvenile.

I caught both on twitter, but I follow people talking about it. Really scary. I hope you can stay home that day.
