The Lyrics
This is from an old book of short bird songs by Joyce Kenner. I have used it as a ref for addressing two of the world's longest English language words that are just plain annoying. The latest word means: a disease caused by the prolonged inhalation of fine siliceous dust!!!
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Just saying that word,
largely unheard,
Is without a doubt- atrocious
34 letters in that word
Simply to say “fantastic”
Drop 25 letters of the absurd
And what remains is less “elastic”
Now here’s the latest, longest word
To remember it requires hypnosis
A medical term no one wants to learn
Pneumoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis
Who thinks up these dreadful words
To make themselves look bright?
They’ll never come up in conversation
I’d rather just say Gesundheit!!!
