A Word’s Worth Poem by Shushan Artinian

I opened a dictionary and read some words:
Fjord, Milord, Gnomonic, Abord;
I wondered how many of them I know:
Jowl, Dowl, Chorionic, Yowl;
If you don’t know some words, don’t be forlorn:
Althorn, Morne, Frigorific, Yborn;
No one learns with a hopeless attitude:
Pulchritude, Destitute, Plethoric, Acritude;
Now open a dictionary and look those words up:
Larrup, Shtup, Encephalic, Giddup;
And use them every day in sentences meaningful:
Bodeful, Nieveful, Lombardic, Direful;
In the end, you will become a word wizard:
Buzzard, Dizzard, Palladic, Vizzard.
