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...

A veracity of verbosity! (also what happened to poor Curly?)

Thank you for your upbeat comment, Michelle! As for Curley, I'm sad to report that Larry mowed him down...

Gershon, if you get tempted to change any of this poem, you are wrong. It is terrific the way it is. Put your erasers and your editing pencils away!
