Sesquipedalianism

[lallison]

Ere I may commence it must urbanely be related
An appeal that you might exculpate this pablum I’ve created.
Erstwhile a malapert habitue’ of flapdoodle I became
As an iatrogenic residuum in a tipple managed brain.

Perpend long upon this not, ere it cozen from your mind
the same muliebritic eructation you disembogue from your behind.
A personage of such omnific aptitude in you I can distinguish,
interlarded languor and fetid eupnea beyond relinquish.

Alas, my jocund romp you may conceivably not espy.
It supplicates a dexterous apperception and apprehensive eye.
I deem some day you will absolve me of this loutish fun,
And asseverate should we abut anew, anew we should become.

[PrinceMyshkin]

Wickedly, wickedly funny! The erudition of the vocabulary is a freaking joy - notwithstanding the pain it caused my index finger Googling every other word.

[Hawkman]

ditto!

Oh poofie. lol. Imagine Iall writing about such things. It must have taken time. lol. Anyway I am pleased your poems are shorter. Good job. :biggrin5:

[hillwalker]

It begs the question, 'How many shots of spirit did this one take you to compose?'

Funny and nightmarish in equal measure.

[J.D. Sparks]

The only word that through me off a bit was pablum because it seemd so generic when juxtaposed with your otherwise remarkably unusual diction. But what a fun poem!

[MorpheusSandman]

Hehe, you've got to love this kind of satirical grandiloquence that uses the very grandiloquence it satirizes! Anyone can simply accuse someone of pretension, but it takes real intelligence to use such abstruse language like this as a weapon against abstruse superfluity!


notwithstanding the pain it caused my index finger Googling every other word.Get a Dictionary.com toolbar. I make use of mine constantly. I also have a Firefox addon which allows me to double click on a word and the definition automatically pops up. Pretty handy.

Thanks, I'm glad ya'll were able to appreciate sesquipedalianism. As you can imagine, I had a great deal of fun composing it.
