Today's word:

auto-burgler (n.) a burglar who burgles their own home.

WTF? Are you serious? Well, I can't pick and choose, so today's word is what it is. If you have any complaints, send them to Elliott & Thompson, Publishers.

Inspired by the winter olympics, I decided to bring you this acrostic double limerick with a twist.

* lime = poop.

My once 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. Boy was I wrong!

P.S. The original ending was different. I changed it to avoid offending those who might have taken offence.

Thanks for reading.
