Word of the day!

Right everyone, here is the new WOD to play around with.

tergiversation

Remember to come up with interesting, amusing, ridiculous definitions of the word... that is to say, any definition you like but not the real definition. Wink

Participation is the name of the game, not evasion! And don �t please don �t desert us somewhere in the middle!

Will choose a winner on Sunday.

Enjoy the weekend!!!

At the risk of annoying the crazy person Wink

, that is not quite right.

Tergiversation is something we �ve all done, have to do on occasion and really, really dread. It �s having to make small talk with boring old so and so �s when you would rather be somewhere else.

�And how are your plants, Mrs Reeves? � Do you really care???!!

We need to cheer up GIs now,

So I �m here to tell you how.

For TER, write down VERSes three

And you can leave the rest to me.

The GI soldiers, brave and true,

Fight nobly for red, white, and blue.

Poem writing �s a small task

To thank them for all we ask.

TERGIVERSATION, then, I say,

Three verses of poetry a day

To write for soldiers in a war.

Unless you want to go to four!
