I'm lost for words! Here is the News!

A Poem by andrew mitchell

In the world of English literature
some words have been
kidnapped, tortured, removed
to the point of near extinction.
No longer will these words be read,
no longer will these words walk the page
and be remembered.
Whispers amongst the Secret Society of Words
have said these words have been taken
to the Word Recycling Plant
where they have been stripped
of title, meaning, and their letters
re assembled to form new words.
No longer is it safe to say.
"I'll eat my words!"
For you just don't know
where these letters have been,
and what they have been up to.
In memory of snollygoster, pismire,
jollux, curglaff, excogigate and apricity
