A chapter in the book A Potpourri of Poetic Curiosities

In hiding

by CD Richards


I hitched a ride, but didn't pay;

I'll wear the cost on judgement day.

I'm one smart abscotchalater—

cops won't find me in this crater!



Recognized


Today's word: abscotchalater (n.) someone hiding from the police.

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.
