Definition:
a writing composed of words not having a certain letter
Below is a lipogram version of "Mary Had A Little Lamb" lacking the letter O (from Peter Blinn, curiousnotions.com):
Mary had a little lamb
The bleached and chalky kind.
And everywhere she went, the lamb
Was rarely left behind.
Thanks for the "word of the day" Alan, - I'm sure my wife, Sally, will appreciate doing some of these with some of her students.
Interesting. It sounds as though it would take a lot of time to write a poem without a specific letter. Except maybe z or q - that probably would be relatively easy.

OK, so, ignorant me so that word and thought it was a surgical procedure!

I do not get it, but it makes me laugh, haha. I am with Gabe Sanders , from the title I thought it was going to be some sort of plastic surgery.
