Proditomaniac built a great wall.
Proditomaniac had a great fall.
One Great Pretender, on his last legs—
let's throw a party, and have scrambled eggs.

Author Notes
Today's word:
proditomania (n.) the irrational belief that everyone around you is a traitor.
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.
