An Alphabetical Challenge :10 letter words

Terminology Turmoil

by Chrissy710

Ten letter words Contest Winner 
Should we all Abbreviate and shorten a word
Long words are Burdensome and some quite absurd.
And, if you've Calculated, you'll find what I mean
They may be Distracting to what should be seen.
But, for the Eccentrics, the longer the test
Yet, if you're Factitious, the shorter the best.
It's the new Generation that's leading the way;
They are quite Hedonistic and have much to say.
To shorten Inactivate many words that we own
I'm sure would Jeopardize this language we've known.
Still I have Keyboarded and not used my pen
My writing's Lackluster since I don't know when.
I'll write a Manuscript scribed by my own hand;
Be really Noteworthy the best in this land.
I will stay Optimistic and believe in myself;
Not ever Paradoxical or remain on the shelf.
No, I'll be Quintessential when I write my text
Ever so Reasonable not make you seem vexed.
I'll sound so Scholastic, so clever in mind
They'll be no Tormentors, just all very kind.
For sure, I'm Unbeatable and bound now to win
Could I be Vanquished for vanity's sin?
But for true Willingness to stick to the quest
Have been so Xenogeneic this one I like best.
So just be Yourselves  and rate how I've done
Forgive my Zigzagging these words just for fun.
