But How Can That Mean...?

by pome lover


Here’s a word, when thought about, sounds absolutely ludicrous
Because it seems insulting, which would certainly be rude-icrous!
A word we use so rarely that it’s never platitudinous—
This weirdo word means beautiful, and is it pulchritudinous!
 
Puberty does not mean “pew-ww!” like when you hold your nose
It’s not the stench of Pigpen, always wearing smelly clothes
It’s when a young girl blossoms, blooming like a budding rose,
Voila!  She changes and begins to metamorphose.
 
You’d think that Lackadaisical meant short supply of daisies
Instead, it means that someone has a bad case of the “lazys.”
Plethora—sounds like disease, some sort of icky crud,
It means “a lot,” but first it meant excessive amount of blood!
(like when you're whacked by a “puberty-ed” female)
 
 





thanks to Eilene0204 for the use of her beautiful heron which I hope, for my purposes, looks a bit confused - like he's scratching his head.
PS I have been reminded that boys go through puberty, too. Sorry, boys, getcha next time.
Pays one point and 2 member cents.
