Michael,
I wish I had a six for this. Your poem is the cleverest I've seen in a long time. You've created a word almost as threatening as the names for drugs. I am thankful for my four years of Latin that have taught me to be able to pronounce extreme polysyllabic words. I was later taught the trick of starting with pronouncing the word starting with the final syllable(s), then working backwards one syllable at a time. You get the gold medal for word coinage.

P.S. All it needs is to be put into a song.

Thanks so much, Sue :-). I don't mind admitting, I had it spaced out into syllables for a while so I could make sense of it! I'm really glad you enjoyed it!
