Gershon Wolf Poet Light Verse

Rhymification's Ramifications

If rectify means to right a wrong
   Shouldn't singify mean to sing a song
Then again, there's the word, compose
   Which would thereby be composify

Back to good old singify, which looks like
   I can't spell signify...though I sincerely think
That singification should never replace song
   Just as wrongification must never replace wrong...

For if so, ipso facto, a simple composition
   Would turn into a composifiication --
Which would be as complexify is to complex
   And complexification is to complexion --

You thought 'twas on me to write 'complexity'
   ~ 'Twould've nullified my rhymificationity...

Michelle Faulkner January 28, 2019 at 1:58 PM A veracity of verbosity! (also what happened to poor Curly?) Gershon Wolf January 28, 2019 at 3:23 PM Thank you for your upbeat comment, Michelle! As for Curley, I'm sad to report that Larry mowed him down...
