"And crawling on the planet's face, some insects called the human race. Lost in time, and lost in space - and meaning." - Super Heroes, Rocky Horror.

If you haven't seen the Rocky Horror Picture Show, this poem may not make a lot of sense to you. Also, you really should, it's amazingly good.

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.
