His music’s quite lacking in art;
this doorbellist’s not really smart.
When some folks thought to say,
"Take a hike, NRA",
their words cut him right to the heart.

Author Notes
Today's word : doorbellist (n.) a dim-witted dolt.
31/03/18: Ted Nugent calls Parkland survivors 'liars' and 'soulless' in interview because of their criticism of the role played by the NRA in enabling mass murder.
Normally, this word would scream out to be applied to someone else. But that person is being given a rest today.
My much-treasured Christmas present for 2017 is a book by Paul Anthony Jones: "The cabinet of linguistic curiosities". Each page contains a descriptive story about some obscure or archaic word. It occurred to me it would be a fun exercise to try and write, each day, a poem featuring the "word of the day" from the book.
Thanks for reading.
