Bluegrass Blueshield (Cinquain) by T. Jonathron Remp
Dell should be Hell
Ding should be Dong
Long should be Wrong
But it's not
But it snot out a booger the size of Tokyo
and the Density of plastic bananas that are used to
Give the appearance of life in a kitchen
Where my aunt used to cook hot dogs by broisting them
Which is a combination of boiling, roasting, and broisting
Developed first by an unknown Native
And accidentally
Ann Daxi Dental Lee
The "Dental" part was unchanged, but hallowed to
Have a semantic effect
That I am coining
Privately, and unknown to you
The word that I have chosen to arbitrarily represent
The aforementioned semantic effect
Will not be known to you at this moment
But perhaps in the future you will discover
By induction
That I had named it "The Smythe-Klein Effect"
And you'd be wrong
Because the Smythe-Klein Effect refers to
What I have just done: coining a term and not
Exposing that term
And then pretending to have divulged it
And then admitting that I have actually not divulged it
And then explaining it
Back to poem details
