New Word: Fuscato



Saying something's new that's not,
is bad,
if not worse,

so I sleuthed
before adding
the following verse:

The Latin for 'dark' being 'fuscus',
a black coffee you could call
a fuscato.

What's more,
for an extra-black,
you could add an 'ob' -

no, not a fuscatoob -

'Buongiorno, un obfuscato per favore.'
