It's Just a Faze

Today's word is feeze (to faze) 

I get very weak in the knees
When I hear someone sneeze, 
Or at the buzzing of irate bees,
And at mice nibbling my cheese.
But I am not prone to feeze
By a soft gentle breeze,
Or at drunk monkeys in trees
In the dense jungles of Belize.

Feeding on the Good Word

Today's word is kerfuffle (a disorderly outburst or tumult)

Marcia tried her best to muffle
Her Valiant 9's boisterous kerfuffle.
The boys were so unruly,
Teasing the girls unduly.
She finally calmed the mad shuffle 
By giving each a chocolate truffle.

Banking Crisis*

A new word.  gwine (to move along)

At the corner of Hollywood and Vine
Is a bank where I stood in a long line.
It seemed it took forever to gwine.
After three hours I was feeling fine,
And began singing "Ald Lang Syne".
I reached the teller about five "O" nine,
When I noticed the "we're closed" sign.
I began to complain, whimper and whine.
They said, "come tomorrow, you swine,"
And are now very close enemies of mine.

*all the fine poetry is attributed to W. Boyd Jensen, but I take the credit for the Titles!!!

Another True Story!

The word...moxie (skill or daring)

A Czechoslovakian girl named Roxie
Was thought by Czechs to be foxily foxy.
She jumped off of a mile high cliff,
Landed upside down in a snow drift,
Some said, "wow that Roxie has moxie."

P.S.  Some Czechs really thought, "what the heck,"
        Roxie is nothing more than a bounced Czech." 

A True Story

Today the word is equinox (When day and night are the same length)

Curtis never changes his socks,
During the autumnal equinox  
That is when he sets all his clocks,
Waters his flocks and Holly Hocks,
And when he throws small rocks
At neighbors in adjoining blocks.

Posted by Crayola-Some kids on the block nicknamed me that!!

Cakey-tending to form lumps

Today's word is cakey (tending to form lumps) There was a young chap who was flaky. His taut muscles were decidedly achy. His abs had a series of lumps, A bunch of little goose bumps His whole body was shaky and cakey.
