A Drivel of a Kind
Billy, Rex, Jimmy, Joel and Robert--
To name a few...gifted few-- good and great,
I love watching and "listening" to on tv.
Rudyard, Edgar, Mark, William and Robert...
I love reading and yes, devouring.
Frankly, honestly, I love words--
Written and spoken.
And I love them "smooth and easy."
I hate them when they don't
Come out and down on paper the same...
That I'd mumble and amble to
The Word "complaining" in good faith,
That "almost always" every single time,
Magically, the nib burns and the ink spills.
O, how I love the sight of "good ink" on paper
And the sound of "good air" on tv!
I used to fear them long and "difficult"--
Orthographically, like this word considered
The longest in any language and in any
Dictionary: Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia.
