Great Big Words

I'm really quite confused About this thing we love I'm talking about our poetry That's sent from God above Sometimes we write simple words For all can understand While others write elaborately With their dictionary close at hand Well I've never been a genius And some words I've never seen These words just drive me crazy You know the ones I mean Some are written to entertain And some to make you cry Others tell of forgotten dreams That's somehow passed us by Why do we use those Great Big words To get our meaning across They're just falling by the wayside And the meaning we had is lost A poem can be magical Even fill a hollow soul So try to keep it simple With the words that we all know
