THE I DON’T KNOW WORD.

It was C.J. Dennis Esquire, a poet of renown,
Who gave us this word, an indescribable noun.
While the word is quite strange, you will try it I hope.
Just give it a go, Triantiwontigongolope.
Now before you ask why? I have to explain,
In life you will need it; believe me again and again.
When you’re stumped for an answer and look like a dope;
Just say “I believe it’s a Triantiwontigongolope!”

It’s the word you can use instead of, “I don’t know.”
So practice and learn it, I say give it a go.
Once you have it off pat and a question is asked,
Be it what is that of a bird, animal or critter unmasked.
A tree, a plant or a star in the sky; it is without scope.
The answer is always, it is a Triantiwontigongolope.
It is vital apparel in your vocabulary wardrobe,
You can use it wherever you travel this globe.

Never leave home without it, wherever you go;
It’s much better than saying, “I really don’t know.”
So let’s raise a toast to C.J. Dennis Esquire,
Who gave us this word for when we require,
A name for something, anything we don’t know.
Or question asked in a strange sounding lingo.
Let’s cover the toast with jam as thick as can be;
From the fruit of the Triantiwontigongolope tree.

Pikey.
