The Vocabular Extraordinar
With Vocabular Extraordinar their words do
entice.
To know which meaning or their intent
would be nice.
The key to their intoxicating verbal
woo and slice.
is contained in this detailed
but sound advice.
With flick of tongue or scribble of pen
on this you can depend.
They can make you feel praised, loved,
scorned or diced.
So if you are smart, of tangling with the learned
you'll think twice.
If not schooled in vocabulary of the learned
do be wary.
What may seem a compliment may be quite
to the contrary.
When said to be ludicrously loquacious it
is anything but gracious.
They are just trying to be mean and oh so
pugnacious.
For the meaning of this is a silly repetitive
chatter box.
When you have studied and you think you have
out foxed the fox,
and for a dictionary you seldom have to run.
Out of left field comes the elude, the
nuance, metaphor and pun.
Now once again holding their sides they have you
back on the run.
If you think this is enough and that you are
about done.
Oh no my friend this list has only just begun.
I have given you a start with what I know and
what I say is from the heart.
If with the learned a conversation you wish
to spark,
Then in vocabulary you need to school and
had better get a fast start.
For to them this is not just an art.
IT"S A GAME !!!
