ARTISTIC LINGUISTICS

I know a thing that might make you laugh:
a coffee-cup holder is called a zarf.

Here’s something else that I deem rather fine:
the tip on a fork is called a tine

When it comes to odd words there are plenty of cases:
an aglet’s the tube at the end of your laces; 

when pieces of paper are what you desire
the sensible thing is to order a quire,

and how about this, it’s pretty spectacular:
eating your breakfast is rather jentacular.

Words can be sterling and words can be antic;
artistic linguistics can be corybantic

so next time you learn of a word such as ruddled
you’d best look it up so you don’t get befuddled.
