A Christmas Limerick
A chapter in the book A Potpourri of Poetic Curiosities

Today's word: doniferous (adj.) carrying a gift.

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.
