A port man what?
The class exclaim
so the teacher explains:
A portmanteau is a labradoodle
who likes to wear jeggings
while munching banoffee pie
for brunch, with a spork …
The pupils faces are blank emoticons.
… or it could just be
a ginormous old suitcase.
Completely confuzzled
they demand the teacher to pack it in.
