The Guy Who Invented Language
A shout out to the guy who made up language,
Inventing diction, style, speech and sound,
Especially the creation of the little prefix pro,
Making words potent, deep and profound.
Some add-ons he added were genius,
Joining para with dox, to puzzle what we use,
And then, adding an “a” onto our thoughts
To make a word, for fun, out of muse.
But then he thought to add extra on,
Making ordinary far more than routine,
And added dom to star, king, and free, for show,
Providing linguistic cuisine.
This guy, who invented the words that we use,
He gave us so many words with which to write,
With the –dom, extra-, in-, para- and more,
