Floccinaucinihilipilification Seems To Be The Hardest Word

(to Elton John's "Sorry Seems To Be the Hardest Word")

What have you got to say to make your tongue weep?
What have you got to say to sound impaired?
What do you do when spoken word stinks?
And you trip through sounds that make you swear?

What do you lose when words are wanton?
Who of your friends were crude when they heard?
When do you pray for word’s less bolder?
When floccinaucinihilipilification seems to be the hardest word.

Be mad, be sad
It’s a mad, sad bid of diction
And I’m thinking word is pure absurd
Be mad, be sad
Can Webster strike this ogre?
Cos at least to me
That floccinaucinihilipilification seems to be the hardest word.

Be glad, a tad
It’s a tad, glad situation
When you find with ease a pleasing word
You’re had, my lad
When words re-quire decoder
You’ll, I think, agree
That floccinaucinihilipilification seems to be the hardest word.

How do you find best words to ease speech?
When do you have to choose to reword?
Better to choose your nouns more care-flee
That’s what you’ve got to do
When you've got verbal shrew
For floccinaucinihilipilification, is to me, the hardest word.
