Synonyms

It’s jumbo, huge, gigantic
Or it’s miniscule or small.
She’s frenzied or she’s frantic;
He is towering or tall.

They amble, stroll or saunter
Or they scurry, skitter, scoot.
He’s a braggart or a flaunter;
She is smart or she’s astute.

It’s delectable or yummy
Or it’s nasty, gross or foul.
In the stomach or the tummy,
It might cause a pout or scowl.

As we rummage or we ransack
All the knowledge in our brains,
We find synonyms from way back
Which our intellect retains.

So we dip or delve or plunder
In our word-filled cache or chest,
Plucking nouns or verbs whose thunder
Will leave readers most impressed.

I could keep this up forever
In this rhyme or poem I’ve penned,
But I’m wrapping this endeavor –
It’s finito! That’s the end!
