Wonderful Portmanteau Words!

We read; our minds put to the test

Apt words provide a lexifest!*

I revel in our gift to show

Our spirit in creative flow!

 

Brunch, pregret and smog are known

Then there’s ‘textpectation’ on our phone

Mansplaining? Hangry? these are new:

Labradoodle?  Cockapoo?

 

'Probsolutely' stands a chance;

Does a ‘snaccident’ our lives enhance?

‘Anticippointment’ (lack of thrill) …

All prove our tongues are never still!

* I invented 'Lexifest' ! :-) 

Note: A portmanteau word (from " portmanteau (luggage) ") is a blend of words in which parts of multiple words are combined into a new word, as in smog, coined by blending smoke and fog, or motel, from motor and hotel.

  

A cute Labradoodle!
