Graveyard
I've attempted to dissect “graveyard” as a compound,
Not in the back, nor in the front, nowhere to be found.
I delved into deep and hard,
Without doubt it’s not a yard!
For nomenclature I'd rename it as a “graveground”.
Given yet another thorough thought to this remark,
“Graveground” as parallel to joyful “playground” sounds dark,
My deep delving disregard,
Reattach “grave” back to “yard” -
For nomenclature we rename “playground” to “playpark”.
