New word: “Untree”

What is a succinct way to say the main course of your meal, your entree is not up to expectation?

You can stick any number of adjectives before the noun. For example, bad entree, lackluster entree, limp entree. But in our fast-paced society, maybe there is a need for a one-word noun that covers the issue.

That’s why we, to collective perspicacity of this blog suggest this new word: “untree.”

For example, “Waiter, my untree.”

That is all you would have to say. You wouldn’t have to say, “Waiter, my entree is unacceptable.”

Just say: “Waiter, my untree.”

Sometimes breakfast is the most untree of the day.

A pot full

There once was a woman from Knoxville. /
Who couldn’t quite get her pot full /
Of coffee, she’d say, /
“There’s not enough today. /
And that makes my way just awful.”

In the land of plenty sometimes there is not enough

For Kristina, who inspired this full pot of silliness; and for my daughter, who posed with a coffee pot to give me an idea of how to do this.
