A friend posted this word on Facebook and I (jokingly) replied I’d have to use it in a future poem. He replied: He would look forward to it. So (okay), then I had to write a poem / ditty… It’s a joke people! It’s just a joke… (Apologies to Disney and Mary Poppins.) | |
Floccinaucinihilipilification* |
|
I knew a few Republicans | |
When I was just a lad, | |
They would call me Democrat | |
And tell me I was bad. | |
And then one day | |
I learned a word | |
That ended their derision, | |
The biggest word | |
They’d ever heard | |
And this is how it’s said… | |
Floccinaucinihilipilification | |
Oh, hum dil a lay ly, | |
Hum dil a lie | |
Hum dil a lay ly, | |
Hum dil a lie | |
I traveled all around the states | |
And every where I went | |
I’d describe Trump Republicans | |
With never a dissent | |
They labeled me Antifa | |
Because we disagreed | |
But they could not pronounce my word | |
Because they could not read | |
Oh, hum dil a lay ly, | |
Hum dil a lie | |
Hum dil a lay ly, | |
Hum dil a lie | |
They’re killing their supporters | |
By saying not to mask | |
They say we can be great again | |
By living in the past | |
Their candidates are laughable | |
Their policies bad jokes | |
They’re labeling us as communists | |
And trying to stop our vote | |
Oh, hum dil a lay ly, | |
Hum dil a lie | |
Hum dil a lay ly, | |
Hum dil a lie | |
Oh, floccinaucinihilipilification | |
Floccinaucinihilipilification | |
[spoken] | |
Over course they could try to say it backwards | |
Which would be… | |
Cation – pilifi – hili – ni – nauci – flocci | |
But that would be as ridiculous as expecting Faux News or The (Donald) Biggest Loser to tell the truth… | |
Now, wouldn’t it? | |
* (pronounced:) fläksəˌnôsəˌnīˌhiləˌpiləfiˈkāSHən/ | |
Noun: the action or habit of estimating something as worthless. | |
I believe the word is actually a combination of latin roots which mean (roughly translated): hairs or fibers of little substance gathered together (like a pilling or a ball of lint). | |

It Ain’t Me Babe |
|
Favorite Line(s): | |
You say you’re lookin’ for someone | |
Who’s never weak but always strong | |
To protect you and defend you | |
Whether you are right or wrong | |
Someone to open each and every door | |
But it ain’t me, babe | |
No, no, no, it ain’t me, babe | |
It ain’t me you’re lookin’ for, babe | |

Frustrating Incentive

Frustration is the first step toward improvement. I have no incentive to improve if I’m content with what I can do and if I’m completely satisfied with my pace, distance and form as a runner. | |
— John “The Penguin” Bingham | |
From his book: “No Need For Speed“ | |
[Running is a lot like learning to play guitar. Or gaining any new skill, I suppose. — kmab] | |
