Here Comes the Thesaurus

Here comes the mighty, strapping, hardy Thesaurus!
Listen to it bellowing, clamoring, roaring in dissonant chorus,
Along with fellow friends: Dictionarasurus and Rhymesaurus
Lifting up, raising up, their ringing, pealing, thundering voices in sonorous,
Blabbering, jabbering chants that thrill, amaze, and restore us,
Renewing, reinstating, replacing words with tones both dense and porous.

 

 

 

Written for dVerse.

  1. a lovely light-hearted look into Thesaurus and those last lines perfect its use
    "replacing words with tones both dense and porous."
