In AP English class this year, I had to memorize an extensive list of "literary rhetorical devices" that are commonly used by the best and most famous writers and speakers. As soon as a looked at the list for the first time, I was speechless at the dozens of names I couldn't even pronounce! All of these terms are some sort of play on words (for example, asyndeton is when conjunction[s] are omitted for a dramatic effect, and antithesis is when two opposite ideas/things are placed next to each other in a sentence while including parallel sentence structure). The elusiveness of these seemingly absurd names prompted the inspiration for this limerick.
