Overdosing (rather binge reading) thesaurus...

Imagine if ye will

earlier one blustery February sixteenth

two thousand twenty one,

yours truly experienced atypical thrill

perusing pages of heavily laden word book

marking where I leave off reading

courtesy no frills inked quill

(sold to yours truly courtesy original

big bird on his deathbed)

 

plus jotting down page number

so mundane effort to marry me interest

with me lingua franca (English language)

neither void nor nill

aforementioned laborious literary task

persevered despite forgoing

eating and sleeping might kill

(reading every last word)

 

hoop ping diligence improves vocabulary

making me maxillary stronger

no matter chronological years

considered smidgen whipping

over third scored Sam Hill

Earth orbitz around nearest star

traveling at (pun one mach two)

 

warp speed amidst escadrille

whereby accompanying aircraft

eventually zooms into Brazil

housing disproportionate Amazon

rainforest biome encompassing

6.7 million square kilometers and shared

by eight countries.

 

Even before (the square root of 3844)

years ago exiting the womb

Logophile mine self anointed

nom figuratively feathery de plume

no matter mine cranium

ready to explode ka-boom

I continue to parlay mental energy

 

like some garden variety harum scarum

and jam additional minutiae

(at thee expense not preserving sanity)

despite very limited (maximum) headroom

to decrease hydranencephaly

the whole hare brain scheme

rigged up with shunted

(think chutes and ladders) flume.

 

One definite lament

until death doth do me proud

constitutes deficient intelligence

genetically (father) endowed

imbibing cerebral thirst for knowledge

constitutes the lack of photographic memory

nsync with fifty plus shades of gray matter

ofttimes smoldering like dark storm cloud

to retain information I read aloud.

 

Quite an exciting

(seat of pants) life I did asseverate

less to impress any anonymous reader,
whose interest I did pique and captivate

versus (verses crafted) more so to delineate

quirky passion (couched as poetic endeavor)

inexplicable how to formulate

though no justification be given

hoop fully only kudos to generate.
