Gadzookery
I took a look inside a book
And felt a rather silly schnook
When in there were words I hardly knew,
Like “peradventure” and “prithee”
“Prenominate” and “verily”
Archaic words and far from being new!
It was indeed gadzookery
The overt use from history
Words that we would hardly say today,
Writing so forsoothly made
Me mourn my simple reading grade
And so I quickly put the book away!
