Yo Dad Vocab #34

Today's word is rhombus *a type of geometric figure...a square)

You never should cuss
When taking the bus.
Instead you should disuss
Things like a rhombus
With the rest of us.

Today's word is footy (paltry, petty)

This may sound awfully footy,
But it has always been my duty
To tell each granddaughter cutie
That she is delightfully tutti-frutti

Yo Dad Vocab #32

A word for today is bise (a cold wind)

If you guys ever recognize a brief bise,
Blowing over your hot McDonald's fries.
I'm telling you...no fooling
They'll really start cooling.
The fries will ice up before your eyes.

Today's word is Beck (gesture)

Captain Quig saw a woman on deck,
And instantly gave a shy little beck.
He was so distracted
By the way she reacted
That the Titanic got into a big wreck.

Yo Dad Vocab #30

Today's word is troke (to exchange)

There once was an Australian bloke
Who decided he wanted to troke
Some hippity hoppity kangaroos
Wearing bippity-boppity shoes
For a six pack of cold diet Coke.

Today's word is frap (to bind firmly)

The billionaire Baron Google Von Trappe,
Was a financially challenged sort of chap.
Though he had lots of money
He most often dressed funny,
Frapping his pants made of ugly burlap.

Yo Dad V-#28

Today's word is PHT (used as an expression of mild annoyance or anger)

A young Anderson boy named Michael,
Rode his sister Sofia's little red tricycle.
The trike was so small,
As he rode to the mall,
He yelled "PHT"! I need my own bicycle.

Using her Uzzi semi-automatic.

Yo Dad Vocab #26

Today's word is lacertid (a type of lizard)

There once was a kid named Cid
Who found a sleeping lacertid.
He threw it way up in the air,
Gave the poor lizard a scare
That's what that avid kid, Cid, did.

Today's word is fey (crazy)

There once was a professor named Ray.
His students said he was decidely fey.
Like egg-headed Humpty Dumpty
His his head was entirely empty
Confirmed by a Kaiser medical x-ray.

Yodadvocab! #24

Today's word is weet (to know)

When a bird goes tweet tweet
It is quite possible to weet
That they're devouring a treat
Of grain like cracked wheat.
For them it is neatly sweet
Helping them grow bigger feet.
