Have you seen the word?
It scares you,
Puts the fear of God
Parading around your head,
Offering no comfort in
Pausing to let your pour
Out your worries,
The worries that
Overwhelm you,
Making you feel ill
Or scared to utter any
New words that come.
So ignorance may be perceived
That shows not your
Reality as the long words
Only belong in dictionaries
Sheltered from your mind
Easing your fear of long words
Subsequently allowing your mind to
Quieten from the horror of your
Unsubstantiated eloquence
Inconsequential abhorrence of words
Parading in syllables
Participating in incomprehensibilities
Ending in floccinaucinihilipilification
Drowning in pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis
Allowing your hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia to rise
Leaving your comatose mind
In a state of pure decidophobia where
Only monosyllabic words
Prevent atichiphobia
Happening within your logophobic mind stopping your
Oneirophobia preventing you from
Basking in the bibliophobia
In the xenophobia that
Attracts bogyphobia.
