a sprinkle of faith

Say what?

The dictionary is my friend,

I’m never without meaning.

The thesaurus is a wizard,

Turns “picking” into “gleaning.”

And when I’m feeling feisty,

Schmutzwortsuche’s how I play it.

I’m never at a loss for words,

I just don’t know how to say it.

Word of the Day Challenge: Schmutzwortsuche

(shmootz-VOHRT-zoo-che)
Verb: Looking up rude words in the dictionary.
