The Big-Word Girl

Of all the clever girls I know,
1
Elaine’s the one who counts,
But what she counts are syllables

In words I can’t pronounce,

I took her to a horror show—
2
(Godzilla Meets Tooth Fairy)—
But she could not unglue her eyes

From Webster’s Dictionary.

She put her trembling hand in mine
3
(Godzilla smashed the floor!),
For she had come across a word
She’d never seen before!

But when the lights came on, Elaine
4
Was sound asleep and snoring.

I woke her up. She yawned and said,
“How Uncustomarily,

Extraordinarily,

Incomprehensibly

BORING!”

– J. Patrick Lewis

extraordinarily If something is done extraordinarily, it
is very unusual or remarkable in some way.
