Plain English is a communication tool people use in many places around the world. As an English person born and bred, I felt compelled (for fun) to dig out this rather astonishing snippet that I created way back in 2009, when a partaker of Fridge Soup listed (in a random order) all the strange-looking words. My verse does make sense, once you hit a dictionary! :-)
Words, words, words...
A daysypigal hound with a dose of cynanthropy,
I'm still a romantic inclined to philosophy.
I'm not furfuraceous or given to ticks,
but ichthyomancy is one of my tricks,
as I'm geniculate, pre omphaloskepsis -
I guess folks may wonder what the heck that is?
I am known for philanthropy rather than love;
I pray any qualtagh, who's sent from above,
will be no snollygoster, but a good friend of mine,
otherwise why are they wasting my time?
