6. LIMERICKS
Suggestion for Word.A.Day theme,
Things are seldom what they would seem,
NOISOME, I'd propose,
Not of ear, but of nose,
A kind of olfactory nerve scream.
-Dr. Chris Papa
--
This week's theme, "Things Are Seldom What They Seem," was suggested by
Christopher M. Papa, MD. Dr. Papa also pens delightful limericks using words
featured in AWAD, and sends them to people on his list at apollohollow@msn.com.
For this week, I've included his limericks right here. As you can see, his email
correspondence also runs in limericks though I wonder about his prescriptions...
