Today's word: miraculate (v.) to produce by miracle.

The topic of this poem, in case it slipped by, is charlatans; I don't like them. And I don't like that they rob trusting (if gullible) people to line their own pockets. Of course, they are far from the only ones to do that.

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.

Thanks for reading.

Image: There isn't one. I left it blank, with thoughts and prayers an image of Peter Popoff would miraculously materialise.
