Lollop At Your Own Risk

A new word for the day is lollop (to loll, or lounge)

Don't ever try to whollop
Your kids when they lollop,
Or when they try to doll up
Like an English trollop.
Instead simply call up
A mean Sunrise Mall cop.

Dang that Prang

I am back with the word of the day. It is prang (to cause to crash)

The midnight train began to clang 
When the foul Sleepy Hollow gang
Rode up on palomino and mustang
Their blazing guns going bang, bang
Causing the chugging train to prang.
On Monday Loredo's church bells rang
As folks watched the desperadoes hang
While the town's choir heartily sang
Even kids watched the whole shebang.

Kent is Sorry!

The word is dilatory (tardy)

Kent Blair was so sorry
He made up a big story
On why he was dilatory,
For the dinner was done
And he missed all the fun
Even the chicken cacciatore.

Mikie on his Trikie

The word is bikie (a biker)

A young Anderson named Mikie
Wanted to be a cool bikie.
Heck's Angels didn't likie
Mikie on his shiny red trikie
And said "go take a hikie!"

Let Your Glim So Shine!

The word is glim (a light, lamp)

It's hard to sing a hymn with vim
When your weak glim is too dim
Even if you're a plump cherubim
Perched on a tree limb with Jim.

Hot Rolls

Try this word. Bap (a small bun, or roll)

If a sizzling hot bap
Lands in your lap,
Don't scream old chap.
Just tip your cap
And give it a tap.
Then go take a nap.

Turkeys can do genealogy?

Good Sabbath:

A new word is Nixie (a female water sprite)

There once was a turkey named Tom
Who went to Ancestry.com.
He found a Nixie in his line
Who was an ancestor of mine,
She was his mom's mom's mom.
