Panoply

I’ve never come across this word

Indeed it sounded quite absurd

I tried to decide what it meant

You can imagine my discontent

I knew not what the word alluded to

For it wasn’t a word that I knew

I looked it up and learned the word

And exactly what the word inferred

A group, or armour or a bunch of things

It covers a multitude of sins

Alas I’ll never use panoply

In daily life or elsewhere I cry

But perhaps it’s just a word of fun

Maybe used to impress someone

Back into the closet of my brain it goes

Perhaps one day to use in prose
