Eustasy
From fantasy we get fantastical
From monastic arises monastical
From sure we get surely
So now I ask you demurely
Is there such as word as eustastical?
Ecclesiastical sources are mute
Prescriptivists give it the boot
But if the oceans should rise
Would they decriminalize
A word otherwise in dispute?
Potatory
Related to speech, oratory
Adventure, exploratory
The term I do think
Related to drink
Is yesterday's word, potatory
As in "Do you care for a bite
Before you retire for the night?"
"No, but as I am parched
From a long winter's march,
Potatory refreshment's just right."
So you see it pertains to the potable:
Whisky, wine, beer and such notable
Drinks as Courvoisier
Tap water and Perrier
Using it, you'll become quite quotable.
