Mixed-class marriage
by CD Richards
|
Today's word: morganatic (adj.) designating a marriage between two people of unequal social rank.
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.
P.S. No, she doesn't really eat lobster, and I don't eat Spam. Come to think of it - I rarely watch football, and she doesn't watch ballet. OK, so the whole thing is a bald-faced lie -- sue me! :)
