Forgotten Positives

There is this great website- A word a day- awad.com hosted by Anu Garg. If you subscribe you get a word a day in your mail. The theme for the week now past was -forgotten positives.

So we had words like- evitable,wieldy,exorable, gainly and corrigible which are known for their negatives but, are recognized words in their own right. We know inevitable,unwieldy,inexorable,ungainly and incorrigible but their positives are not used. Wonder why??

Here is a poem dedicated to the forgotten positive : 

A very Descript Man .... J H Parker

I am such a dolent man,
I eptly work each day;
My acts are all becilic,
I've just ane things to say.

My nerves are strung, my hair is kempt,
I'm gusting and I'm span:
I look with dain on everyone
And am a pudent man.

I travel cognito and make
A delible impression:
I overcome a slight chalance,
With gruntled self-possession.

My dignation would be great
If I should digent be:
I trust my vagance will bring
An astrous life for me
