A Potpourri of Poetic Curiosities
: Harry Potus and the half-wit prince by CD Richards


With complex thought, this man does struggle

No wizard, he's certainly muggle

But despite his big gob

He's not up to the job

Now his country is in a curfuggle

 

Author Notes
Today's word: curfuggle (n.) a confused mess; disorder, disarray.

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.
