Iwas amidst a dream
When I used the word "implement"
In its verbform
In a speech to myself

Immediately afterwards, I awoke
Andrealized my superfluously fancy wording
Which deducted from my energypotential
I was consequently angry

Still awake, voices in my headscreamed
As though to punish and tax me
For being intellectual orinsane
Why couldn't I use or employ a less sesquipedalian word?
