Words Are Hard To Say



POEM # 3 - CREATORS UNITED - 24 HOUR CHARITY STREAM
Word from Keegan (he really wanted to challenge me with this one):

Pneumoultramicroscopicsilicovalcanoconiosis


Volcanic crystalline dust particles

Words Are Hard To Say



I’m addicted to a word
Not just any word
A very special word

The longest Word 
By far
In an English dictionary

Pneumoultramicroscopicsilicovalcanoconiosis 

What?
What on earth 
Is that?

Don’t be upset or despair
It’s not as hard as you think
You’ll understand in a wink and a blink

This I promise you!

Most call it Silicosis
A short little word
For a bad lung disease

Silicosis!

That’s a shortened word
Like bus for Omnibus
Or pram for Perambulator

Let’s break it down
To make some sense
Shall we?

Pneumo is a common virus
Ultra means extreme
Microscopic is smaller than small

Don’t give up now
You’ve got this
You’re already halfway there

Silico is a common quartz
Valcano sends ash into the air
Coniosis is a lung disease

Does all that make sense?
The longest word in the dictionary
Means tiny crystals in the lungs

Now say it with me
It’s easy if you try
One word at a time

Pneumo
Ultra
Microscopic

Silico
Valcano
Coniosis

Easy!
