Misanthrope

I’m I a misanthrope? Maybe. Odd isn’t it most of you young ones out there will know what a trope is but how about misanthrope?
I did actually have to look up the meaning of trope it is a recurring theme in a book or movie, quite ironic really I can’t watch many movies because of the recurring themes of violence, death and destruction.

An apology is due, whilst I did actually look up “trope” on Google, I didn’t check my dictionary thinking it to be new speak. Trope is in the dictionary, although the meaning does seem to have been adapted into modern parlance. Anyway the following is still fun.

Misanthrope

I looked up trope on my little internet machine, I still don’t understand that little word what it really means
Is it some kind of recurring theme, a little bit like a meme, I must be really old ‘cause I don’t even know what that one means
The lady at the library tried, then washed har hands of it with soap, I searched through every dictionary, could I find it? Nope
Thixotropic I found but that’s a kind of gel, could I find this trope word though ? Could I flipping hell
I remember a western movie where the cowboy used to rope. Then there was the one about a vampire he was a misanthrope
Every year new words are announced to go in the dictionary, I do hope trope will go in soon for my sanity I’m beginning to worry
I’m going to write to prompt compiler, “What is this word trope? Pay my hundred pounds for a stamp and send it in an envelope
Compiler won’t understand it though he’s just a dumb machine, I’m going for a lie down now and take my medicine.

All words Meadowhead Bard.
