Imbroglio



This word is the offspring
of a gerbil and a
typographical error.


This word is a
traffic accident
waiting to happen.


It has the dull caramel eyes
of a weary salamander.


This word is the flatulence
of ghosts.




Copasetic



This word lives in a world
covered in tulips..


It swims in a mackerel sky,
and opens door after door,
throughout eternity,
to let dreams shine.





Lubricious



This word's somewhat crooked
smile is simultaneously
lewd and sorrowful.


This word is a sultry night
in Barcelona, full of fevers and
dreams of eternal orgasms.


It is the middle name
of the goddess of solipsism.
