Pouches
A pouch is where a joey
Of a kangaroo resides
And pouches are the bulges
'Neath your eyes that make-up hides.
Another type of pouch is one
We carry 'round the waist
And baby food's in pouches now.
(The jars have been replaced.)
It fascinates me when a word
Adds meanings through the years.
I guess that compensates for every
Word that disappears.
