Written for RDP, where Martha asks us
to get creative with the word “solivagant”.
Thanks, Martha! Here’s where the prompt took me.

Today’s word didn’t even show up in my MacBook’s built in dictionary, that’s how unusual it is; I had to do an online search to find its meaning. In fact, I’m not even going to tell you what it means; I’m just going to say that my fellow Bronxite, Dion, had a really big hit about a solivagant. If you don’t guess what today’s word means after that hint, I chose the wrong song.

This is “The Wanderer” by Dion

The Elephant's Trunk 
What a day it’s been, that’s the third new word I’ve come across reading others bloggy bits today!
A nice dose of Dion.

Dion said this was a sad song about a person going through life without a care, “going nowhere”.

Those are some of the lyrics but I never knew he said that about the song. Still good to dance to!
