Excellent
Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted
Consequence of too good of a time.

Crapulence

by HarryT

Plagued by beastly crapulence
I'm just a dizzy, vomiting mess
My longest hangover yet



Obscure Word 7-9-7 writing prompt entry
Writing Prompt
Ladies and Gentlemen (and all other members to whom these monikers may not apply!): it's time once again for the Obscure Word 7-9-7! Find a word that truly exists but that, for some reason or another, has been out of the mainstream -- and bring it back for us! ;) Your poem should be of the format:

First Line -- 7 syllables
Second Line -- 9 syllables
Third Line -- 7 syllables

It should highlight/explain/define an obscure word for us and really make us want to use it the next time we compose an offering! :) Remember, keep it mostly clean (know that's difficult for some of you out there, but it IS only 23 syllables so I'm sure you can manage it!) and impress us! :) Make it fun, make it intriguing, but, most of all, make us want to vote for yours!! :) LET THE OBSCURITY BEGIN!! :)


When the word hangover just will not do it justice, there is crapulence. As the OED defines it, crapulence is a feeling of sickness or indisposition resulting from excess in drinking or eating.
Pays one point and 2 member cents.
