Wordy Wednesday - AND - Riddle-Me Who?
These Wordy Words are from: My Enemy the Queen
Prevarication: To deviate from the truth
Abstemiousness: Refraining from consumption of food or drink
Uxorious: excessively fond of or submissive to a wife
(to) Broach : to open up a subject
Panegyric: Formal or elaborate praise
Riddle-Me Who?
This man had done bad
The Queen was so sad
“My favourite before
But now no more”
“Mercy!” Mom plead,
“Enough!” The Queen said,
Too pompous, too proud
Attracted wrong crowd
The Queen felt cheated
He must be defeated
Bess thought she had reason
So she tried him for Treason

I have 3 of those words on my list ;) I always remember 'Prevarication' because Moose & Zee on Noggin (kid's channel) have a song that says 'Prevaricate' and my daughter asked me what it means.
ReplyDeleteI know who the riddle is, but I'll let other's guess :)
Is it Robert Deveraux?
