How diverse is the world of words

How magnificent is the influence of words

I am amazed to know the fact

That has challenged my belief of words

The smallest book in the world

Whose pages can only be turned with a needle

Shows the ingenuity of the genius publisher

And the grit of the book’s reader

But that doesn’t impede Proust’s efforts

To launch the longest book in the world

I wonder how he managed to compile

More than nine million words in a file

How queer is the world of words

Fascination and learning it confers

Each word has its saga and origin

Each word has a place of its own
