Here is today's distich by Michele Verinus:
Quid Sit Amicus
Alter ego verus, multumque probatus amicus,
Quo debet nobis carius esse nihil.
The vocabulary is keyed to the DCC Latin Vocabulary list. All the words in this poem are on that list:

dēbeō dēbēre dēbuī dēbitum: owe, be obliged

nihil, nīl: nothing; not at all

probō -āre: approve, prove; convince one (dat.) of a thing (acc.)
que (enclitic) - and
qui quae quod: who, which, what / quis quid: who? what? which?
