Verbigeration ... Burn

Today's word is "verbigeration" ... ver-bij-uh-REY-shun ... Pathology. the constant or obsessive repetition of meaningless words or phrases. (dictionary.com)

Burn
He was a boy,
Possessed, they say,
Who flung himself,
In every way,
Into the fire.

He'd toss about,
And yell and scream,
With verbigeration,
Things so mean,
And painful.

'Til one day,
One came about,
And ordered all,
The spirits out,
And they obeyed them.

His power quickly,
Became the talk,
Of all around,
Who would not balk,
To call him savior.
