Excellent a 5-7-5 A Potpourri of Poetic Curiosities : Sure things by CD Richards

Live long enough, and death, taxes and betrayal become stone-gingers.   Recognized Author Notes Today's word: stone-ginger (n.) a dead cert, a sure thing. 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.
