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

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.
That is, indeed, a wacky word.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteLove it and I was a hobbledehoy myself.
ReplyDeleteWell, now you know how describe your younger self in a way that confuses the neck out of kids! :-P
DeleteThis is definitely one of my favorites--it's so fun to say "hobbledehoy" And your poem describes it perfectly :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like the word so much! I will watch for it in your poems. :-)
