Word of the Day

Today’s definition is BOWER,
A shelter of tree boughs and vines
Which sometimes has blossoms that flower,
With man-made or Nature’s designs.

It’s also a common misspelling
For Bauer, my married last name,
Despite all the products now selling
As Bauer, of clothes and skates fame.

Still, I like the “bauer” connection.
It conjures an image quite pleasant,
Much better, of course, on reflection,
Than its translated meaning of “peasant.”
