Boo (Philosophaster - Word of the Day poem)

[Brownlie]

"Latin philosophaster, from philosophus (“philosopher”), and -aster (“expressing incomplete resemblance”).

I made a joke that I was a poetaster, but it turns out it's actually a word, unskilled poet. That be me.

This is pretty cool. Ben Johnson, who apparently used the word extensively, writes some crazy stuff with lots of learnedness. Normally, I'd harp dogmatically on the rhyme scheme, but I think it goes with the poetaster bit quite well.
