Happy Penultimate Day!

A fantastic title for Young Readers. 

One Christmas season while working for some extra cash at a retail store, I said, "It’s at the end of the penultimate isle," when asked for the restroom.  I am pretty sure they didn’t know what the heck I was talking about, but they followed my direction anyway.

Athletes are precise 

in deed and word. 

Isn’t it the Penultimate frontier? 

I enjoy seeing esoteric words such as penultimate and its ilk in print.  Sometimes I get to hear penultimate, my current favorite word, in BBC podcasts.  It seems to be a common word in Great Britain.  

        

From two separate points, each eye sees its own rainbow.

        On this first annual Penultimate Day,
heretofore unnoticed every December 30,
we shall celebrate some noted penultimates:

Y    
Ti                              
November  
Alaska    
Indigo

Woefully under-used is the problem of Penultimate

And last but not least, This Little Piggy, who had None!  On this special day, he doesn't have ‘none’ anymore - he has a great new title.
