A chapter in the book A Potpourri of Poetic Curiosities

Liquid lunch

by CD Richards

 
At lunchtime I had a potmeal,

and now look as bad as I feel.

I'm forced to conclude

I should have had food;

my stomach feels less than ideal.

Today's word: potmeal (n.) a drinking session.

I wasn't able to find this in the dictionary, but my book assures me it is a word.

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.
