5 - EXAMPLES

[The fifth entry of April 2016's A-to-Z Blogging Challenge.]

*

E is such a common letter
You find it so easily
Here are examples of words
Starting with the letter E:

A fisherman is one who fishes

At sea and docks on sand

But one who fishes under a bridge

Is called an ebberman

Pastel colours are so pretty

But they look like a fever pill

Did you know a pale green colour

Is also called eau-de-nil?

You might call it a hangover

Alcohol causing exhaustion

But a mental breakdown from over-drinking

Is called ebriection

A tool for measuring boiling point

I didn't know what it was, nope

But then I found out that it was

An ebullioscope

Cats and dogs have long tails

I'm sure you don't have one, mate

In other words, something tailless

Is also ecaudate

Too much Ricola candy
Might get you a little sick

You might even feel the laxative

'Cause it's eccoprotic

Made a little typo?

Does your work need a correction?

I guess you'd better edit it

And make an emendation

Because these words are crazy

And because you are my friend

I won't torture you any longer

This poem shall hereby end.

*Disclaimer: I never knew these words existed before I looked up "interesting words starting with E" on Google. So please tell me if I'm using them wrongly; I want to learn too!
