Photoinsanity by the author. This is a take on one particular specimen of Y chromosome, by which I mean a man, of course, in which I challenged myself to, yes, go through the alphabet and come up with cool words. This is what happens when one's muse is on vacation in Barbados. (I have been to Barbados; trust me, this is the place muses love best.) I believe these are all words, with the exception of the final one. The truth is, this poem (is there a category called "Poetry?" (with the question mark)? -- actually makes sense to me, so now you know more about me, which of course is a scary proposition for both of us. Have fun. I did. Trust me: though this is about one person, it is about as understandable as the Y chromosome ever gets.

Y Chromosome The avowedly atavistic curmudgeon capaciously derelict, quasi-epileptic unapologetically apoplectic finagling garrulous fecundity hoary with frank fragility, ignominious iguana jowling unlugubriously, juggernauting molten narcoleptic senility penultimately opulent, quizzically rumbustious, serendipitously ululating, voluminously visionary, lucubriously yodeling xenophobe beatifically blathering zillionaries.

no no no no no! -- you were not to play the dirty, x and y chromosome game -- I told you, the X Games! -- chameleons are better suited to x and Y chromosome games! -- and ululation is a wonderful anxiety relase on a full moon night -- peace to you and many more hilarious vituperations -- JMW

This poem makes me very pleased that I somehow have a broad vocabulary. Outside of H.P. Lovecraft (and Websters, of course), you must be the first to use "ululating" :-)

Oddly enough, it really does make a "Y" kind of sense. Good one, Julie!!!

All well and good, Julie, but you omitted...
Coruscatingly numinous (or vice versa) with a little
concupiscence on the side--if you'll forgive the liberty.
