These words are probably familiar to you all, as we have a very smart bunch here on FR! The purpose of this Thread is not so much to teach new words, as to stimulate the use of some really good ones! AND...I am NEVER disappointed!)

Just got home from work-there is nothing to do at the jobsite unless we want to watch concrete set...

The questions from the presstitutes
To Sarah at the the briefing today
Show that egregious partisan bias-
It defines the media in every way

Their obsession with any gossip
Concerning McCabe and the FBI
Is just today’s current fiction
That they’re asking you to buy

They’re just puppets for liberals-
That’s who controls their thinking
While Hillary is still the provider
Of that koolaid they are drinking...

You’re welcome any time...

You may have noticed that I dropped the “Schoolteacher Schtick” from my Monday version of WFTD. The reason is that most of the respondents to this thread are erudite and have masterful use of the English Language. The poems, puns, historical and political references, and excellent usage of the words presented make the schoolhouse meme kind of irrelevant, at least in my humble opinion.

Consider Monday’s WFTD as an invitation to a fun gathering of like-minded verbal gamesters! :-)
