Visions Absurd of Grandiosity

Overcome by a wave of curiosity I decided to try out seriosity For which I'd no particular precocity 'Twas an ill-fated breeze of impetuosity With visions absurd of grandiosity I'd portray Julius Caesar with proper pomposity Though, to be sure, my toga's fit was an atrocity Not to mention my Latin dialogue's tortuosity Yet utterly convinced of my latent geniosity I spoke my lines with preternatural verbosity Hark! Were those boos of unaccustomed ferocity? ~ To the nearest Exit, tomato-smeared, at hypervelocity...

I'm out of 'osities,' Jeff, so how about a simple 'Thank you' instead. Muchas Graciacity, gw

Highly inventive rhyming, Gershon. Let your lachrymosity be salved by bouquets of praise.

At least you had an adventure and a learning experience. Hope there's no lingering animosity. :)
