This word is a long one <br />Coined by the great Walt Disney <br />But I could not imagine it being sung but <br />By the country singer Kenny Chesney. <br /> <br />It was made for a special musical, <br />Based off a book series called 'Mary Poppins; ' <br />It was indeed unique, <br />And was not to be copyrighted by John Hopkins. <br /> <br />The word was a bit big, <br />As you can see, <br />But once Julie Andrews sang it out, <br />It wasn't that hard to me. <br /> <br />And even though it looks so big, <br />Which Andrews calls 'atrocious, ' <br />It is actually quite special, <br />Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. <br /> <br />Now, this word had one break-through; <br />It had song for memorisation. <br />Now, why can't we do that? <br />Have big words for inspiration? <br /> <br />Why can't we come out with songs, <br />So that words are easier to remember? <br />Why can't we do something creative, <br />Like the West Ottawa senior did last September? <br /> <br />I can think of many songs, <br />But I just can't say. <br />There could be just anything, <br />Not just one certain way. <br /> <br />Titin could have a special song, <br />Taht is to say, its scientific name, <br />And if it can be remembered, <br />Thane it would be quite a game. <br /> <br />What about that long word? <br />That's Greed for a sea food feast? <br />What can we do with Sophocles' play <br />So it doesn't sound like a beast? <br /> <br />We can do something like Mississippi, <br />In which first graders say it ten times fast; <br />And trust me, with their little minds, <br />They will have a blast. <br /> <br />What about the lung disease; <br />What can we do with that? <br />We can treat it like baseball, <br />With a pitcher and a bat. <br /> <br />Now, big words aren't all that bad, <br />If you face reality; <br />If you really think about it, <br />They're one big family.<br /><br />Justin Reamer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/supercalifragilisticexpialidocious-2/
