His pelmatogram is quite impressive,
(and this claim is in no way excessive);
for he's got a big foot,
best avoid where it's put;
getting flattened can be quite depressive!

Author Notes
Today's word: pelmatogram (n.) a footprint.
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.
