Hippopotomonstrosesquipedalian

 Hippopotomonstrosesquipedalian

Me, I stay away from hifalutin’ words

With their snobbish snoots pointed up to the birds,

Who always show up in white gloves, black tie

Trying their best to impress you and I.

I like words I don’t have to run to the dictionary

For which to find out if they’re really...uh...fictionary,

Or are misused to try to impress

With verbiage that comes across way overdressed.

An example this poem will end sesquipedalian,

Even hippopotomonstrosesquipedalian.

The former means words a foot-and-a-half long

The latter, its synonym, in length a furlong.
