Each and every year the Oxford English Dictionary selects several illegitimate words from the bastardly world of slang and grants them legitimacy by including them into that holy book of the English lexicon. We recently asked poets to craft a poem in whatever style they chose using as many of the words recently added to the dictionary as possible. Our winning submission featured no fewer than 23 words new to the OED. We hope you enjoy. A complete glossary of the new words featured in the winning poem is also available.

web mistress Wendy, Godzone's own, put down her cup of tea
she shivered in her blankie, cursed its breathability

the puttanesca late last night was causing her distress
the chick-flick playing on the screen seemed more like Hermann Hesse

her bunny-hugger hubby was at work on his old Chev
he called their kitten “Gearhead,” scratched its head to engine's rev

he loved his shagadelic wife, oh quelle surprise he thought
how he lucked in to that great ginch got thought about a lot

the gal was sure no fembot though she had some moves down pat
this kabloona quahogger put out his welcome mat

for Wendy when one Friday night she made a cholent bubble
galactically popular it was and little trouble

yet now the girl was ailing and he knew not what to do
he offered up some fresh Earl Grey and then said “coochy-coo”

it put a smile upon her lips, but then she screamed in pain
as if a wakizashi pierced her heart or worse, her brain

she grabbed a Q-tip, poked around her pustulent right ear
then grabbed the can of whipping cream and gave it quite a leer

“a whippit is but all I need to feel much better fast
the qigong helps but this is quick" she smiled as she was gassed

and then she settled down again and gave a purry mumble
“let's have steak flambé tonight; I feel my tummy rumble.”
