Words

There’s nothing finer, in a sense, Than certain words in present tense. Words which are incredibly, Etched on your mind indelibly. Immaculate, petulant, magnificent, sinew, Incredulous, superfluous, to name just but a few. Sacrament, procrastinate, intestate - may seem, Draconian, Dickensian, obsolete, obscene. Gratuity, embouchure, gnaw with silent 'g', Juggernaut, cantankerous, words which I must decree, Are remarkably, stupendously, fantastically sublime, And should be used magnanimously, each and every time. Biblical, whimsical, statistician, brie, Words which are surprisingly, absolutely free. Insatiable, perpetuate, onomatopoeia, Existential, exemplary, words you shouldn’t fear. Exponential, candid, xylophone or muse, Malign versus benign - never to confuse. Reptilian, gazillion, fragility, beguile, Elucidate, excruciate, go the extra mile. Psychopath, pedestrian, sesquipedalian, (That last word I must admit is somewhat alien), But never doubt, you have some clout, with words that randomly, Demonstrate, accentuate a sense of liberty.
