Day 169 (Delayed): Big Words

Big Words
By Batsheva 5/19/10

Does anyone know
What abnegation means
Or how about adventitious
I have no clue
But I'm telling you
If you know
Then you must be ambitious

Some other words
That I don't know
Are asperity
Celerity
Portmanteau
Compendious
Conterminous
Concatenate
Edacious
Praetorian
Eonian
Ablaqueate
Ceraceous
Refulgent
Recondite
Senescence
And satori

These are some big words
I don't know
But they're just part
Of the story

Our language has so many words
No one can know them all
So don't feel dumb
If you don't know some
Let the lexicon enthrall
