Your ostensible prank is a joke about crank

Not funny and now the consequences

Will be a confidence

destroyer for some

Here they come

That movie was so dumb

Word of the day for Sunday, what can I say

Some words are tougher than others

Hey, hey, hey

Ostensible comprehensible

Appearing to be true but not necessarily so

Some words come and go

Never use them again

And then

There are those that we use like when.

Again and again and again.

When will this rhyming come to an end?

Can’t wait for a poem a day in February

And then

Ostensible is there for sure with poetry that isn’t poetry at all.

The truths that aren’t truths but we can have a ball.

Well, at least I can and a few others will again.

*Hubby was watching the second of a series movie high voltage crank… the rhyme may make more sense if you saw it. Then again it may have a higher rank than I can give, maybe a bit!
