A double limerick (apologies to Amanda and the band)
A chapter in the book A Potpourri of Poetic Curiosities
Who are you?

Today's word: lunette (n.) a little moon.
The joke:
The Who's original drummer, Keith Moon, who tragically died in 1978, has one child (now an adult over 50), whose name is Amanda or Mandy. She probably wouldn't appreciate being called "Lunette", because she is (or, was), literally, a little Moon.
My much-treasured Christmas present for 2017 is a book by Paul Anthony Jones: "The cabinet of linguistic curiosities". Each page contains a descriptive story about some obscure or archaic word. It occurred to me it would be a fun exercise to try and write, each day, a poem featuring the "word of the day" from the book.
