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...
