How wonderful! I realize there's only been a few so far, but this is going to be hard to top - I love it! :) :) You not only use the poor, obscure Latin term I hadn't heard since forever (okay, so it was back in school, but that certainly seems like forever!), but you used a mathematical term I had never even heard used in reference to a kuss....I had to look it up and, sure enough, definition number two was the little used humorous reference to a chaste kiss...wow! :) :) I can certainly see how it fits but I had no idea! Great job! And keep 'an coming!

Comment from MissMerri
This is funny and cute and fun to read with its rollicking meter and wonderful rhymes. It is amazing to me that you manage to write one of these every day. This one is especially well done and entertaining as well as educational. I was not acquainted with two of these three words. I love learning new words. Thank you for this. Loved it!

Was "osculate" the one you knew? I couldn't have told you the meaning of any of them before yesterday. Thanks so much for the delightful comments and lovely rating, MM. Very much appreciated - Craig
Comment from Alexander Vasa
Hello, this sounds kind of kinky until the end where we find out it's all about 'kissing', LOL. It is quite cleverly written in a suggestive sort of way only to find out it is having us on. Clever!! Good author notes and the fact about the banning of kissing was interesting.
Thanks for sharing this one, I so enjoy this series of poems, Ana.

Comment from Thomas Bowling
As soon as I find out what all of those words mean I would be glad to do them with you. In the meantime, can we just do it the old-fashioned way? It still works.

Comment from Lady Jane
Who knew. I think I'll steal one of those words the next time I'll ask my hubby to basiate me. Haha. Well written little poem here. I can't see anything worth bringing to your attention. Just a fun little piece of curiosity. Thanks for sharing.
