A chapter in the book A Potpourri of Poetic Curiosities

Irresistible Me

by CD Richards

 
  
My tie's Cardin (because I can),

these shoes are made by Gucci;

I'd love to watch you dance for me—

Let's see you hoochie-coochie!


The ladies want a bon vivant,

they're often feeling smoochy.

You think me vile, but I've got style—

'cuz I'm a mamamouchi!

 



Recognized


Today's word: mamamouchi (n.) someone who believes themselves more important than they really are.

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.
