Wacky Word Wednesday - Apricate

Apricate

One who apricates
thinks sunshine bates
a basking state
and always rates
a day as great
when warmth infiltrates.

Sunshine is the first mate
of one who apricates.

Wacky Word Wednesday - Sook

Sook

I would not want to be a sook,
finding adventure in movies and books,
determined to stay in one nook -
a cowardly person, a sook.

We can use the word unasinous
for things equally asinine to us,
like a convertible submarine and a low flying bus -
Similarly stupid things are unasinous.

Rantipole

Is a rakish soul,
Has 'going' as a goal,
Plays the wild and young role -
The rantipole.
