Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia

Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia is the fear of long words. It also happens to be synonymous with irony (in my humble opinion anyway). However, I want you to write poems which express the capacity of your vast vocabularies. The words you use don't have to be long, as expressed in the title, but they have to make me need a dictionary to understand. However, I should be able to understand your poem; the vocabulary should just be used as a way to make the poem more pleasing to read. Please commence.
