Once, there was a lonesome word
Who often fell behind
A word forlorn and longing
In search of friendly words in kind
It looked for magic answers
Seeking ways to break the spell
Which blocked its visibility
As though hidden in a shell
Many other words were written
Sliding easy off the tongue
Softly tuneful and melodious
More rhythmically when sung
Scouring reference lexicons
The lonely word without content
Briefly spared a lonely tear
On rarely used 'pauciloquent'
