I like poetry that manages to use long words naturally. One example is Charles Wesley's great hymn “Let earth and heaven combine”, which has these two lines:
Our God contracted to a spanIncomprehensibly made man
If you can get it to rhyme too, lots of bonus points. These two lines from “My funny valentine” (which also has the appeal of being one of the rudest love songs ever written) have been going round my head:
Your looks are laughable,Unphotographable
And then there is this verse from Flanders and Swann's “The Honeysuckle and the Bindweed”, whose rhymes and unique rhythym are so wonderful that I have to quote it in full:
Said the left handed honeysuckleTo the right handed bindweed“Oh, let us get marriedIf our parents don't mind. We'dBe loving and inseparableAnd inextricably intwined, we'dLive happily ever after.”Said the honeysuckle to the bindweed
The following is one of many physics limericks I enjoy, this one by Kay R. Devicci:
My sister likes doing ceramicsMy brother likes lying in hammocksBut I get my kicksFrom all the neat tricksIn quantum electrodynamics
Now for an attempt at something original - another limerick, with a rather long meter:
There was young lady whose first name was SallyWhose dress sense was such that her friends called her scallySince she could not mend itShe decided to end it
Hmm. That was pretty atrocious. It neither scans nor rhymes correctly. Maybe I was being a bit ambitious.
