Sesquipedalian
by Hos Solo

Intro: Sesquipedalian - Characterized by the use of long words... long winded. In essence, words, or the use of words, that are too big for people to understand.

Verse 1:
What is your distress? Are you vexed? In torment? Can’t
find the right adjective to describe why you’re upset? Can
you not express, the excess, of your transgression? Confess.
Lack of intelligence apparent, no success. In
retrospect your lack of study buddies makes you ugly when you
speak. Realize a feeble mind is penalized without a-
cuity. _by not hangin with the geeks, lack of hum-
ility and mental inability indeed made you

weak. Verbal technique sweeps the demographic, you’re
static and vacant, habits forming peaks of medio-
crity. Logically_one might try to better themselves, ex-
ert to excel, _maybe even learn to spell. huh? Quell
the lies, all of those to which you’re subjugated, that
slang or text speech _somehow _can liberate us. I
know it’s likely that you didn’t follow a word of this,
verbal diss from Solo, vernacular whiz kid.

Chorus:
I know that I’m a little bit Sesquipedalian, I
speak like an alien, to minds like Planarians. Frus-
trated by arrogance, although it’s intelligence, I
won’t denounce my speech by a dumbed down society.

Verse 2:
Reading is an aptitude creating attitudes that lead to
opportunities, to achieve _proficiency in many
things. But sadly, like lemmings into the sea, the
geeks, they see them flee, on toward stupidity. In-

competency and ignorance are not a life sentence, in fact,
we’re gifted with abilities to create expertise,
but lack the drive, and power of will to thrive, and
cower until we die. Ignorance is bliss contrived by

Those unstable, or maybe not enabled to grasp the
concepts, so foreign, but never think to ask. The
answers are easily found if one would just search, but ex-
pect the worst, many not willing to research. Be-
smirched our namesake, yes, the human race. En-
lightened at one time, still discoveries await, but wait!
Jersey Shore is on! Can’t miss another episode.
Snooki the hero of those whose IQ is zero.

Chorus 2:
I know that I’m a little bit Sesquipedalian, I
speak like an alien, to minds like Planarians. Frus-
trated by arrogance, although it’s intelligence, I
won’t denounce my speech to a dumbed down society.
Pick up the pace kids, you’re losin the race gents, Ja-
pan is innovative cuz they value intelligence, so
step it up punks,cuz you sound like a you’re a bunch
of dunces, you know that Solo won’t pull his verbal punches...


Bridge:
Girl: So I was all like, OMG! Like no way, right? I LOL’d like SO hard! (giggles)
Boy: Yeah, heh heh. Like ROFL ROFL ROFL-copter
Girl: So then she was all, like, “What’s your deal?” and then I was all, “Whatever.” then she was like, “Step,” and then I was SO over it, so I left.
Boy: That’s hi-LAR-ious... Did you like go insane?
Girl: Totally, Facebook got LIT UP after that! They were all Trollin and hatin but I was still like “Whatever.” you know what I mean? You know what I’m sayin?
Boy: Yeah... dude, that’s awesome... So what do you want for your birthday?
Girl: I dunnow, anything but a book.
Boy: Facepalm! Duh, you already HAVE a book.
Girl: I know right?
Boy: So you know Keith? That geek dude from Biology? He showed me some kind of music called “Nerdcore”
Girl: Nerdcore? What’s it sound like?
Boy: I didn’t understand, like, any of it. It was like trying to listen to a reading assignment or something.
Girl: Lame...

Verse 3
I don’t blame the teachers, the task not theirs to bear,
the burden of shame is on parents, so unprepared. Make a-
bominable choices, then inflict them on their young, beat
their kids to neurosis, then they call them a punk!? _This is

not an excuse, yes, the cycle can end, friend.
Choose rational thought, then, the healing begins, mends the
fission configured to blister and hinder the whispers of the
river that never ends, then we can be friends again! Three

forms of the word their, and less of the word like. Go
frequent a book fair, and learn to be polite. If
truly you’re contrite, overwrite your damaged bites, that will
surely expedite, leaving shallowness behind! And

yes, I know at times, I feign superiority, due to my
abnormality and inability to tolerate things, but I’m a
geek, and truly, in the heart of me, I’m just
yearning for acceptance from all communities...

Chorus 3:

trated by arrogance, although it’s intelligence, I

Outro:
Girl: It was like... intense, you know what I’m sayin?
Solo: Intense? (pause) a coffee from Starbucks?
Girl: Yeah, the most awesomest thing ever!
Solo: I’m... so confused...
Girl: You’re not very smart... are you?
