One Galactic Mess

I see that I've detected
some words that were neglected
By noted “lexicologist” to Suess 
I'm sure some how in time
they'll create more words that rhyme
But for now, I'll put the ones, I found to use

For example, there's "Galactic"
and I hate to sound "Didactic"
But, have YOU tried to rhyme this word before ?
So,  l'll find a different Tactic
less ridged more Elastic
That I'm sure everyone, will just adore

I've been writing till I'm Spastic 
like a nervous Geriatric 
But there's only two words, that will do
I'll seek some Chiropractic
And work on my Gymnastic 
In time I'm sure I'll feel as good as new

I don't mean to sound Sarcastic
But what kind of word's Bombastic
It's the craziest word I ever heard
Who made up Pleonastic 
And thought himself Scholastic
I'm sure he must of been some loony bird

How can I write with Lactic ?
Or practic, prophylactic
To make a poem filled with poise and grace
If IT'S to be climatic and regarded as fantastic
I've got to do what's Drastic, 
I rest my case

How entertaining - such a fun write, enjoyable escape from the serious topics. I admire where you took the Galactic contest - my muse still hasn't even flexed in reaction to it. Again, I had a great time ... CayCay
