Word of the day: Nimiety

[Erthona]

Word of the day: Nimiety
 
His poor brethren had not shirts on their backs,
but of everything he had a nimiety,
he was stingy true, but in the end he'd rue,
in hell when he thirst, he'd not piss for tea.

[Leanne]

Those who keep up with the Joneses
eventually end up as boneses
no more or no less than the spartan
who felt less of loss when departin'

[rayheinrich]

Well... I sort of came close. I thought it might be related to "inimitable",
but I checked Online Etymology Dictionary  and found they came from
different latin roots.  That dictionary, if not that useful to poets, is a
barrel of fun and a lovely waste of time.    


        There was once a great man whose nimiety,
        Was in danger of drowning his piety.
        In seeking salvation,
        Endured a castration;
        Success? Yes! (but lacking propriety).
