On his first round of internet daming,
sure he was intent on shaming,
his blind date stirred up such a fuss
when he called her pulchritudinous,
that it proved a barrier to fun
as she announced their date was done!
His mistake was simply ’cause he
didn’t know her brain was fuzzy
and unaccustomed to such words
that more literary birds
might realize were a compliment
in fact, a word meant to augment
the chance that he might marry her
instead became a barrier
of misunderstanding that
made her think he’d called her fat!!!!
The lesson learned from this brief story
is that blind dating can be gory.
What a guy has got to do
before he makes a swipe anew
is to ascertain his date’s I.Q.
before he chooses words to woo!
Prompt words for today are rambunctious, augment, fuzzy, pulchritudinous, shaming and barrier. Illusration from the Nutty Professor Site. No attribution.
Haha! Yes using unfamiliar words can backfire
