Wheeple

Posted on May 17, 2012 by Felicia

Today’s Best Word Ever is wheeple: to utter a long whistle or shrill cry.

A verb (both transitive and intransitive) with a British accent.

 

This is the church,
this is the steeple
where birds build their nests,
lay eggs, and wheeple.
Birds nest and wheeple
inside the steeple.
Sunday the church
fills up with people.
