Gershon Wolf Poet Limerick

Best Way to Learn a New Word

              I’m not your typical invitation
              Please apprise me of your inclination
                  Don’t you dare pretend
                  Or else I’ll apprehend
              You! ~ and hang you by your subluxation

Joseph P. DiMino August 26, 2026 at 2:25 PM May put it back in place...really stretching the meaning here. Well done, Gershon.

David Crandall August 26, 2026 at 2:18 PM Youch - does this mean you suffered an injury!

David Crandall August 26, 2026 at 2:17 PM I think I just subluxated a bone in my head!

Paula Goldsmith August 26, 2026 at 9:29 AM I enjoyed reading your creative/fun write. How about a dictionary??? Hahaha!!! Have a fun day writing away...........

Sara Kendrick August 26, 2026 at 5:34 AM I like this one, Gershon, but not sure what the meaning of subluxation is in this instance. I have always heard of it being applied to a slipped disc in the spine. Thank you for sharing with us your creative work. 👏✍️. Sara K. John Lawless August 26, 2026 at 7:27 AM Well, we are all aware that Gershon has slipped something

Sotto Poet August 26, 2026 at 3:36 AM Gershon, I like this poem; you used creative words and have a lighthearted, distinctive style. It is engaging and enjoyable to read. I had to google the word subluxation: (dislodgement, unseating, luxation)
