Meaningless

There once was a word who tried to belong,
but all of his contexts seemed to be wrong.

He stole a thesaurus and sought out repentance;
but now he's in jail with an unfinished sentence.

I hope he gets paroled, and his sentence doesn't run on! A lot of fun. Robert

Jeff, your poem is not so nonsensical as you might think. I've encountered said word on many occasions, methinks. Wonderful couplets!
