Portmanteau

He exited the train carrying a luxurious portmanteau Walking with a BODACIOUS strut exuding an air which swept away the SMOG Just CHILLAXING 'pon the bench she watched ___ He approached the ticket master letting SNARK sayings flow from his narcissitic persona A lovely lady dressed to the hilt sashayed Across the cobbled train yard Displaying an air of refined richness Which adorned her every move Rich in wordly goods and in social grace He only had the appearance of riches Not a cent to his name Definitely lacking in social graces, arrogance was his game But could he do magic And TOMFOOLERY everyone Across the cobbled train yard with his eyes on the prize He fell ASPRAWLING entangled in a slight crack in the neat cobblestones Prostrate upon the cobblestone with verbage of a sailor flowing from his lips The cheap imitation leather ripped from his portmanteau Here lies a man humbled by a fall Finis' Portmanteau has two meanings and the first is a suitcase..The second combinating two words Tomfoolery--tom/fool--tom a common man and we all know what fool means Asprawl--a/sprawl...self explanatory Chillaxing--chill/relaxing Smog--Smoke/fog Snark--snide/remark bodaciouos--bold/audacious..bold/ brazen sashay not a portmanteau means to glide move..The dictionary said it would be unknown to most English speaking people..
