On Election Day... What Else?

Skeptic

There are only four words in
the English language
ending in "- dous":
tremendous,
horrendous,
stupendous,
and hazardous"

And, you're asking,
'Dous' my knowing that
make life better?
Absolutely - to a terrible punster.

------------------------------------------------------

There are two words in
the English language that have
all five vowels in order:
"abstemious"
and "facetious."

And, you wonder
if knowing that
improves life's quality?.

It doesn't, really,
unless you're in
self-denial,
and want to tease
us about it.


F William Broome 2006-08

I fear we may all be forced to become abstemious. Surely self-denial will become a necessary virtue in the years ahead, in order that we may lay enough of our income aside to pay the horrendous tribute required by our new government caretakers.

-an excellent and thought provoking write you have given us today poet! Well done!

This was a tremendous and stupendous write with horrendous concequences at the end. Having hazardous pitfalls if we don't heed. However, they could me Abstemious if we listen to your words. Only being facetious. Great write, Love, Bonnie
