TANTALIZING TO THE MOST SEQUACIOUS – Marilyn Armstrong

By on • ( 18 )

I dressed in my most alluring, tantalizing gown — a deep red taffeta item. Its intent was to lure the most sequacious of my followers. I speak of those who knew nothing of me but the colors I wore, the perfume that wafted from my dusky skin.

Ah, those fools, forever creeping after me, wanting something, yet forever too fearful to ask. Nor would it have mattered. Worthless chits.

I might add that the more sequacious they were, the more dull-witted they seemed. I was hot, but even my flame could be squelched by these dreary males. So instead, I sang for them.

I can still sing, though I am perhaps a bit long in the tooth for the torch songs of by earlier years.

    Love the song. Is it what they call a “fandango”? What is a Fandango anyway.?

      I’m getting tired of finding uses for words I will never use. There are words that I use rarely, but these are words I NEVER use, even when I know the meaning (I didn’t know this one, by the way, but at least she provided a definition). It’s simply more fun to find a clever way to use a common word. No matter what you do with one of these “freshman college fancy words” is going to sound awkward because it’s not a word you’ll ever use again. It’s like the words in the old Reader’s Digest “Improve your vocabulary” and a list of fancy words to memorize so you can impress your pals. I was taught as a tech writer to NEVER use fancy or obscure words. No one appreciates having to look it up while they are trying to get on with business.

    You did much better than I did in figuring out a way to appropriately use the word “sequacious” in your post. Who uses that word, anyway?
