Darnicles

A very important word

but others believed it was absurd.

I told them it was so

that they were stupid if they didn't know.

They told me to find proof

and I knew this would be like a bouffe.

But when I searched for it

the dictionaries decided to omit

Darnicles.

How could this happen?

Now my life was misshapen.

This led me to despair

and I had to make do with a glare.

Those stupid dictionaries forgot

and my hopes were all for naught.

Darnicles.

They told me, "Don't worry.

Don't get in a hurry."

We will force them to

make the word true.

"After all," they said,

"the word that must be read

is Darnicles."
