Floccinaucinihilipilification

Flox-suh
Nawh-suh

Nah

Fih

Shuhn

Oh, is such
A fun word to say,

Such a long-winded pronunciation
Just to describe something as worthless

Like owning a boat
In a desert habitation

Isn’t it amazing?

This dodeca-syllabic tongue-twisting abomination
Flaunted by the intellectualization
Of some snooty sesquipedalian
And their high brow pontification,

Or only spoken
By some lonely poet

Who Loves
To compose

Simply,

For the pure Joy
Of articulation

When he stumbles across a word
Such as this revelation

That tickles the fancy
As such does

Floccinaucinihilipilification…
