The Word

But, how could she know this word,
From of my lips she heard?
It's ripe, robust and crafty,
Oh my, can she decipher birds?!?

It may have been my mistake,
To boast this word of hate.
Though did I deserve such a beating,
After all, it was so late?

In the future I shall be more careful,
This indeed I must...
Especially around young women,
Who are so 'steatopygous'!!!

Might reward you with a plump slap…lol. FB post asked for a word that begins with s and ends with y. My husband reads this out loud. I say “serendipity,” and he says I was thinking “say.” I go on to give a couple more lengthy words. Had a good laugh.
