In Highfalutin’s world, there’s no Simplicity
In his world, it’s Pomposity
He cannot Say a thing but would rather Asseverate
How can he simply State something when he can Aver?
He does not see a Bird but an Ornithological Specimen
A Cat is a Feline Fellow
How can birds Flock Together? No!
They Congregate In The Same Propinquity
His wife does not Fear Fear but she’s Phobophobic
His daughter Fears Height, she’s Acrophobic
The son Fears Flying hence Pteromerhanophobic
The dog must be kept away because he’s Cynophobic
Mr Highfalutin was right as he wrote on
And one day he could not explain his condition to the doctor
Until he fell into the cold hands of the Grim Reaper!
