A limerick about migration

A chapter in the book A Potpourri of Poetic Curiosities

Tree change

by CD Richards

 
Poor young Phil was quite misunderstood

and detested his own neighbourhood.

So he did something strange,

undertook a tree change;

cosmognosis changed Phillip for good.

 




Today's word: cosmognosis (n.) the natural instinct that tells a creature when to migrate.

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.
