poem

 JeffEvery word has a meaningSome words have many meaningsAnd some meanings belong to many wordsHowever, the meanings we still care aboutAre out all night, searching for datesThere are four Jeffs in my fantasy football groupEach Jeff signifies something uniqueNobody ever says the word JeffWe call each other by our last namesWhen we gather, the word Jeff is meaninglessJeff is now the 2394th most popular nameChosen by new American parents for their babiesSomeday the word Jeff will replace the word HerbertIn the dictionary of lost languages Its entry will read: old and musty and mostly deadOne by one there will be no more JeffsEach time a Jeff diesA verb becomes a nounA pronunciation is codified And empty space fills with pure definitionWhen the last of us in the group is goneJeff becomes a word you can forgetEven if you come across it again in your readingsAnd you get stuck. Just look it up.It all gets written down in the book 9/12/23
