Wacky Word Wednesday - Gormless

Gormless
by Rachel Hoyt

Those who are gormless
are completely harmless
though may appear thoughtless
which may seem a bit reckless
but really they can't help all this
because they're just a bit brainless.

Gosh I'm glad I'm not gormless.

Every week I rhyme and define a new wacky word.
Come on over to indulge your inner nerd.
And, please let me know of any weird words you've heard.

      If I was gormless as can be,
      who would write rhymes for thee?

      :P

      My sister sent me a very cool dictionary which inspired the series. Most of the words are from there... so far. :)

    Gormless must be what I am these days
    Though I cannot tell for sure
    I just like to do things in my weird ways
    (But I sure hope there's a cure!)

      Very cute rhyme, Janice. :) Not so sure you qualify as gormless. :)

    Another great word :) I've always wondered what the opposite is, gormful? And what does gorm even look like :3

      That is true... what DOES gorm look like? Or feel like? It is an adjective... :)

      We are all gormless at times. It's a good thing the police don't impose fines! :)
