This is a catch-up for a missed day. Can you tell?

Today's word:

calepin (n.) a dictionary, a book of authority or reference.

Pronounced kale-pin.

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.
