This one’s for the smart kids.

This one is for the honor students, and the straight A students

This is for the kids who stay up half the night studying, and the kids who work their ***** off for their grades

This is for the kids who can define and spell Antidisestablishmentarianism or tell you what DNA stands for (it’s deoxyribonucleic acid by the way)

This is  for the teachers pets, the geeks, and the nerds. And the student who skips parties so she can study for her test.

This is for the kids who can solve complex mathematic equations in their head

This is for the kids who know that you don’t use “I” in a formal essay, and that okay is spelled O-K-A-Y, not O-K.

This is for the kids who can recite pi up to 200 hundred places, and the ones who can solve a rubix cube in 2 minutes flat.

The ones who take two language classes, and the ones who have been saving for college since they were born.

Geniuses of the 21st century, this is for you.

I would give you a gold star and a check plus for what you’ve done, but I’m sure you have gotten plenty of those. So I think I will just tell you something that only we could understand; Superb job at pursuing your academic careers with such ambitious outlooks on the world, and for having such admirable self-motivation.

I know that sometimes it ***** to be academically inclined, but in 5, 10, 20 years you will be working in some law firm or doing something you love and making multiple figures while the kids who blow off their school life will be stuck working for minimum wage at McDonalds or as a waitress for the rest of their lives.

So keep writing essays and doing extra credit because it’s not enough to survive high school, you have to thrive, and reach for the metaphorical stars.

Antidisestablishmentarianism is a very hard word it's true,
But it's much more difficult just to say:
I
Love
You.
Richard Riddle May 2015
Does anything rhyme with "antidisestablishmentarianism"?

"I didn't think so. Oh well, on to the next idea!"

and yes, it's usually at these points where
my mind switches off, and crafts
a narrative of some sort,
  simply because i'm already past the linear
non-linear (square) associations of
the puzzle, and i'm just bored of looking
at it for too long, and sudoku is just that:
being patient with your eyes darting.

then again, something does come from
this prolonged custard moment...

is begins innocently,
   a simple contemplation:
   9 x 9 = 81...

but then the whole **** thing morphs...

out pops the word *onomatopoeia
...

now, given the word, you have to sometimes
admire the linguistic "arithmetic"
for its quickened step,
        with words you're almost walking
in water, with numbers? in mud.

    the computational + is irrelevant at this
point, what is relevant is:
  
   the foundational fraction, i.e.?

     x
         /
           26
      or the χ
                                      /
                                       βζ
-

point being? it's called the alphabetical
fraction base...
           26 letters in the alphabet,
so? pretty much all english words are
contained within this fraction,
whereupon 26 / 26 = 1...
    or furthered: yes, ÷ is the other symbol
for the expression of the fractal medium.

obviously there are renegades of
this rule, obnoxious quasi-germanic compound
words that obliterate the hyphen basis
for english shrapnel... but mind you:
welsh is worse...

i was simply thinking about arithmetics
in linguistic terms,
given that letters are less visually based than
numbers in this realm,
   and how university level mathematics
is a "typo" of linguistic affairs
(as one mathematician said to me:
people assume that being a mathematician
is synonymous with being a good
arithmetician... we're not calculators!) -

just consider all the university level mathematics
abstracts...  can you see any numbers?
might as well stage them between 0 & ∞.

∀ and ∃: or? copernicus: at a ******* funfare.
i'm starting to suspect that it's not
exactly slanderous vocabulary,
   but the over-representation of the slur as
competing with the silk french way of saying
it once, and once being enough,
namely? that the english have to compete
with the silk, as if grating nutmeg for self-evident
reasons in the number of times: ditto.

so i did mention the fraction...
    there's also the "other" fraction, namely?

   χ≥
       /
         26               yes? more than, if χ is worth
more than the base number (of letters,
that constitute the alphabet)?
       honey bear, pooh bear, now you've entered
the mathematical sphere of language...

oh, i do have a few examples,
   which will probably be as difficult to remember
as 9 x 9 + 10 - 39 ÷ π...
   fancy that, only the welsh could be so *******
annoying...
   and this is a real word, i assure you...

   Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
(Lla­nfair PG in "acronym" form)...
now... it's one thing reading james joyce's finnegans wake,
and quiet another trying to pronounce that,
thing.

get the point?
tongue to optics to arithmetic...
but there are contenders for the fraction principle
that states: language reaches mathematical
complexity, when    χ≥
                                        /
                                         26  is breached,
personally though? i'd put the notion a bit lower
in terms of linguistic computation...

but a 26er? pneumo-physico-therapeutics
     (i was going cross eyed, hence the hyphen scalpel)...
a 28er? antidisestablishmentarianism
     (opposition to the disestablishment of
the church of england) -
    as you can see, the english ponces had to frustrate
themselves over their cadillac owning neighbours,
the welsh, but would only muster a fathomable
prefix borrowing from either greek or latin...
then again, compared to the welsh,
              the english own a mini cooper;

now, this verse, really, really deserves a celebratory
beer; so i'm off! mind you, on a ******:
off my rockers.

in a poem tonight, i said that i had a problem pronouncing the word antidisestablishmentarianism, and that it was ironic as i knew the word, and how to pronounce it Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch the irony! 😂 i got looked at proper! oh the foibles, and quirks, of you humans! oops! okay, time to come out of my closet, i am an alien! 😂 i come from a planet, where peace comes easily, and so do i....😅 **
