Old World English

I want to talk about a word
severely underused
as of late.

A word created then lost-
callously discarded to the
depths...of the 1990's.

This word is rad.
Coincidentally the word I'm
talking about also happens to be the word: rad,
but rad's pretty rad so it still works.

Let's face it,
there isn't a nugget of vocabulary
that rolls off the tongue as easily as rad.

That rug is rad,
that hat is rad,
that raggedy rickety rabbit is so very righteously rad.

That broom is rad,
that chair, so rad,
that broom on that chair?
Rad, rad, rad!

What's better then rad?
Nothing, and the only reason
I can think of for why it's fallen
out of style is that it was indeed
too rad.

Like Pogs, and Whistle Pops,
it was just too rad.
