August 27, 2015: Absquatulate
I once met an unfortunate fate,
En route to my wife for a date.
As a thief took my money,
He said something funny,
"Best now that I absquatulate!"

Limericks inspired by and including the word of the day from Dictionary.com
Euphonious
While my singing’s considered euphonious
My lyrical memory’s erroneous
Instead of “home of the brave”
I sang “warmongering slaves”
And was charged with high treason felonious
Plaudit
Desiring world plaudits and fame
I have one simple skill to proclaim
I can pick my friend's nose
While wiggling my toes
And no one else can do the same
Legerdemain
When trying hard to entertain
I naturally veer to profane
After vodka martinis
I can't come close to Houdini
And lack skills in the legerdemain
Aficionado
Approaching the fresh avocados
I brandish my knife with bravado
Removing their pits
With a flick of my wrist
A guacamole aficionado
Circumlocution
Though my brainpower is quite lillipution
I spew nonstop verbal pollution
I talk crap all day
Though I have nothing to say
And plead guilty to circumlocution
Implacable
I face my implacable foes
And stand ready for one thousand blows
Although I'm surrounded
They're quickly confounded
By my nimble and light-hearted prose
Officious
I find myself often suspicious
Of religious advice most officious
If saving my soul
Means no Rock and Roll
I prefer a path far more perditious
Rubicund
From her tingling rubicund cheeks
Came a few pititul squeaks
She gasped twice and spluttered
Caught her breath once and uttered,
"I see you've learned well your techniques."
Volte-Face
A lady who’s clothing was sparse
Surprised with a sudden volte-face
Not looking for thrills
But to help with her chills
I offered warm hands for her arse
