Just some silliness
A Potpourri of Poetic Curiosities
:
A very able poem

It may not be advisable
to play golf in the rain.
To call an Arab arable
might mean one is not sane.
Relations highly breakable?
It's not really a shock.
Are humans less than capable?
That's true, says Mr Spock.
Is Donald certifiable?
A lot would answer "yes".
The next tweet that's detestable
is anybody's guess.
Most problems are resolvable,
though they might be involved.
A riddle that's unriddleable?
A paradox unsolved.

Author Notes
Today's word:
unriddleable (adj.) unsolvable.
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.
