Effrontery
(eff rhunt er ee)

An act of effrontery
Has ample audacity,
Resembles skulduggery,
Is often perfunctory,
And does not intentionally
Inhibit your joy selfishly -

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.
all about the actor
ReplyDeletewith this one..
You've got to be good to pull it off. :)
DeleteI look forward to your verse
ReplyDeleteeducational and terse,
they always bring me a smile
except today because a crocodile
ate my foot on my way to work,
thanks a lot, you scaly selfish jerk.
Love, Mosk
You gave me SUCH a good laugh with this rhyme. :)
DeleteSometimes I think my blog is one mass effrontery.
ReplyDeleteDon't we all? I do...
DeleteTrue, true. But yours is awesome.
DeleteAwww, thanks. :)
DeleteEffrontery sounds like it can be
ReplyDeletethe basis for a man's bravery
The acts and masks that free him from his fear
And his inhibitive slavery
When a man is not so super
The cape and muscles
may just save him from
more than his share
of actual tussles, scuffles, and troubles
and leave him standing among the rubble.
Thanks for sharing with me the way you see effrontery! :)
DeleteHi Rachel! I've always liked this word--it just is fun to say--effrontery, you ain't fooling me, I know the truth and can see, right through your effrontery ;-)
