Bored on a Saturday Afternoon
Festicious is not a word
I’ve just made it up
The grammar police
Think I’m corrupt.
It rankles some people
But me, not so much
I’m quite impressed
I’ve the Midas touch.
Late middle English
Its origins fare
Wikipedia’s accepted it
‘Well’ I declare.
Putrescent and rancid
Are all pretty gross
Festicious sounds finest
More pleasant than most.
What does it mean?
I hear you say
To have something nasty
Rotting, slowly away.
A suburban masterpiece
I’ll patent it now
Before someone nicks it
And cause’s a row.
