His speech always seemed infantile;
demeanour, exceedingly vile.
Opponents were "dregs",
but they all had eggs,
so he wore an omelette trajectile.

Author Notes
Today's word: trajectile (n.) a projectile, something thrown forward.
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.
