Archipelago

     Archipelago, a word rarely spoken
     Dictionary lists it as a token
        gesture to eggheads and nerds
        who have to know every word
     Just don’t ask Humpty-Dumpty                     
               ~ his recollection’s broken

Humpty- Dumpty took a fall, and landed on his B---s. Oh what pain he was in. Never on that wall again...

Dictionary on a wall, read, then haphazardly spoken. Love it?
