Florid Failure (Limerick)
I use new-to-me words in my verse;
Vain attempts to cajole and coerce
My old brain into learning
Their meaning. But spurning
Those efforts, my mind makes me curse.
So I’m forced to confess with veracity
That I wish I had greater capacity
To remember cool words,
But my brain’s for the birds,
Which explains all my failed orchidacity.

Mad
I had to look up orchidacity.
I am afflicted with that too! There is no cure.
Under that definition it said “orchidoc” which according to my dictionary,
means “testis” Do we have that too? If we do, don’t tell Mark.
LOL
LOL! I certainly hope not! But I did find this paragraph a bit weird:
“Orchid- is a combining form used like a prefix meaning either “testicle” (testis) or “orchid.” In medicine, it refers to testicles. In botany, it refers to orchid flowers.”
I’m glad I didn’t go to the prom. There could have been a mix-up.
LOL
Lisi, I’d love to see you turn your orchidaceous prom night into an audacious
limerick. But I’ll settle for your funny punchline. LOL!
Sjaan, This is the best I could do.
I used to call Tommy a “putz.”
Cuz I heard he said, “Lisi’s a klutz”
But the night it was starry
He said, “I am sorry.”
And brought orchids and real tasty nuts.
“YES! That’ll do!” says Sjaan
“Okay, ladies. That’ll do.” (Says Mad?)
LOL! I’ve never been to a prom. But I’ve always wondered why people would sully prom dresses with orchids.
