Websteristic
Antidisestablishmentarianism,
Webster handled with ease.
Words like these
he thought were a breeze.
A renowned lexicographer,
there is no doubt,
But, the world’s biggest word,
Webster left out.
In only two letters
of unused space
He crowded the big word,
“IF” in disgrace!
IfonlyIhadthoughtbeforedoingthat
