Constance La France

Well, it's a mouthful that's longer than the Mississippi 
But if you carefully chew every letter and word
And bravely swallow your fear
As your attempt will gain teeth and a hero 
Let your tongue speak the word
And let those goldfish lips surface
But be cautious of inhaling
Or you will suck
Think of an odd married couple
Named Super and Alidocious 
That had four beautiful daughters
Cali, Fragi, Listi, Cexpi
Sandwich them together 
But first, remember the oral inspection
There ... you can see yourself relishing this balony  
Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious

Lolol I absolutely cannot! Just came by to say hello. I see you have a new commenter below, maybe take her out for coffee or something. And maybe the one always yacking in my ear and I can join you two! ;) How's it going Connie?

Hello right back at you. I guess I'm surrounded by dolphins and not sharks, which is a good thing. It was nice hearing from you. I wish you well.

Connie, now I see it. What you are trying to say is that if one can master the word, they are a hero? Or are they going to eat a sub (hero) filled (by sandwiching the words together) with baloney, which also reads both ways. The last line basically says this is all nonsense (think baloney). But guess what? Guess who can spell this word with no problem now? Me.
