Word of the Day Winner
 
Wow! Wow! Wow!  You all really outdid yourselves today:
We had canabalistic thoughts of spooky poets, we glued ladies� toes together and "hoovered hamsters", we played with others� bottoms and found detectives with a liking for wines and swines. We even developed special flowers for poets and used their wares to make pop fashion.
 
I have to thank all of you for your wonderful creativity and now I have to pick a winner.  Before I do there are two honorable mentions I would like to give:
 
Mariethe came closest to the real definiton:
a poetaster (rhymes with alabaster) is "an inferior poet"
 
PMaryAnn- I loved your poem and if it had mentioned a wenis you probably would have won.
 
I pretty much  just rolled the dice to find the winner here, but the final deciding factor proved to be including the wannabe-word "wenis" in your definitons. 
 
The term wenis probably started out as a joke but is rapidly becoming accepted as a word for the loose skin on your elbow.
 
Without further ado, our winner for the day is David Lisgo!!  Congratulations!
 
Thank you everyone for the great participation!
