Alpharhymitize (the first alpharhymized poem – by definition) By Franklin Price 2/26/2017 Alpharhymitize - I think I've coined a word Because it is most likely, one that you have never heard Can you think about it? Have you heard this word or not? Don't believe it is a thing, thought I'd give this word a shot Each word has an origin, thought I'd give this one a go For you to make one also, just think and make it so Get in your mind, a thought or two, a new word you can make Have a definition also, to make some sense, for goodness sake I don't really give a crap if it's stupid or it's quaint Just don't present it as a new word, if you know it really ain't Kangaroo is taken, so is aboriginal digeridoo Look elsewhere to find another, to find something that is new May find it as a new name for a plant or element Not always found on purpose, some are found by accident Only by trial and error, can you make a word that's new Preposterous or simple, it is something you can do Quit trying hard and slow down, you will find it in your head Remembering is very hard, you should write it down instead Simple words or hard ones, are for you to perceive Then go and find some other folks, whom you can make believe Unless you bring the word up front, and bring it to the fore, Very unlikely, it will be used, that you will make the score When you have coined a brand new word and put it on the page Xerox some copies, send them out, tweet to make it all the rage You will never know, unless you see how it will fit Zero will always happen, if you don't get down to it Alpharhymitize – to compose a rhyming poem beginning the first line with “A” and each subsequent line with the next letter of the alphabet until “Z” begins the last line. Poem must rhyme in couplets.
