A Potpourri of Poetic Curiosities
: Ode to Alex by CD Richards


Xenophobic tripe

Yes, InfoWars excels

Zero fact, infinite drivel
 

Author Notes
Today's word: XYZ (n.) A hack journalist, someone who will produce anything for cash.

(Yes, according to my book, it's a real word).

Time to lose some more reviewers.

* Alex Jones is a self-promoting media megaphone, and owner of InfoWars.com, representing all things whacked-out and evil. His YouTube account is currently suspended after he described a survivor of the high school mass murder in South Florida as a "crisis actor".

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.
