Dictionary

What’s sebaceous and what’s subcutaneous I asked

And then I found before me a mighty task
When the reply “Look it up if you want to know”
Came to me, telling me where I should go
If I wanted to find out what the words meant
And, to be honest, I’m quite glad I was sent
Because knowing that one refers to oils and fats
And the other gets under your skin (and that’s 
Something of a pun, ain’t it cute?
And no, I’m not talking about the word’s root)
The dictionary is one of the most useful tools
For those of us who don’t like to look like fools
