Today's word is "paranymph" ... PAR-uh-nimf ... a groomsman or a bridesmaid.(dictionary.com) (Don't think I'd be calling anyone in the wedding party by this particular name these days ... Just sayin')
Obsolete
If on your next wedding day,
You need help in a hurry,
A paranymph might fit the bill,
You'd have narry a worry.
Your shoes would surely brightly shine,
Your tie would be perfection,
If a girl, your hair would curl,
In all the right directions.
Outside this role, there's not much call,
For one with such precision,
But if someone popped up with this skill,
I'd not treat him with derision!
