Not Even A Smidgen Poem by Stanley Cooper

Not Even A Smidgen



As to the meaning of ‘algorithm’
I’ve not an idea, not even a smidgen
Unfortunately, it’s just one of many
Meanings of large words, I haven’t any

They can be pursued in Websters thick book
They’re right there for anyone who’ll give it a look
But I lazily find that facile solution
Is not my way out of my large wordy dilution

The dictionary I never open with glee
Though its use is as easy as a b c
But somehow or other, I must humbly admit
To resort to that book, I just can’t commit

So ‘algorithm’ and other large words in existence
Remain casualties to my knowledge resistance
Since I refuse to become a large word pursuer
And will forever favor words with syllables fewer
