As the hammer slammed onto Daddy's thumb
he said many words the children had not heard before

including "perspicacious" and "svelte"

it was a bizarre family tradition

If it was a tradition then he had done it before?

Were there always new words?

my original version went something like

"As the hammer slammed onto Daddy's thumb
he said many words the children had not heard before

including 'perspicacious' and 'svelt'

'daddy's such a _________,' said Timmy"

however, i could not properly fill in the blank and still have a poem that would be appropriate for a family blog
