is an awkward boy -
un-savvy, few ploys,
has no modern toys,
needs lessons in poise,
and hides his source of joy -

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.

Rhyming or not, I would like a lot to hear the thoughts my words brought...
