Be Not Perturbed

My dear reader, please, don't be afraid
When I say stuff like discombobulate
I say big words
Because I'm a nerd
Not to label your intelligence as "up for debate"

Cute limmy, Timothy. I love these, I would like to try this form sometime though I dunno, I'm not really the witty type. XD You're such a versatile poet! And yay for nerds! I agree with sweet Jack's comment. ;) Always, Laura

Hahaha ... never too late to try, my friend! Once you think of the punchline, the rest is rather simple. Thanks for your kind words.

Even just saying the word is some how satisfying.

You know what, it's not even on google translate, I had to search it. A really big word :DDD. A funny work, Timothy.

Hahaha, that's funny! First time I heard it was in the Sherlock Holmes movie and I thought to myself "one day I'll use that word in a poem"... and at long last I did :)
