Suff'rin' Suffixes! A Medley of Morpheme Bromides

"The Itching Buddha"
by Ulysses Poe
chemical marker

As old as the ‘algia’s 
and as ugly as ‘-aholic.’    

‘-esque’ and the world ‘-esque’s with you; 
‘-ish’ and you ‘-ish’ alone.

He's got his ‘-ance’ 
between his ‘-acity.’

All for ‘-cracy’ 
and ‘-cracy’ for all!

We’re not ‘-ectomy’ing at you, 
we’re ‘-ectomy’ing with you.

     (More "Suff'rin'" to come: a work in progress.)
