There once was a con artist,
who dressed like a nun and had a habit of drinking spiced rum.
As you can see, she walked to the beat of her own drum,
so much so, that one day, she forgot if she was actually a real con or a fake nun,
but she did remember that drinking spiced rum was still fun.
I've never met a con that dressed like a nun.
I've also never met a nun that was a con.
I've also, also, never met a nun who had the habit of drinking spiced rum.
I've also, also, also never been conned out of my own spiced rum,
but mostly because I've never had none.
Or, have I, and I just didn't know it?
Anyhow, she is what inspired the word - Co░n░u░n░ⓓⓡⓤⓜ.
The Webster dictionary likely left out all these important historical details about the word conundrum though, which is why I have brought them to light here.

so pure, seem amazing
This was such a fun poem! Loved it!
Very clever! I’ve always admired people who see words within words.
You won. That was fun. I'm done. 😐
A good one. If I ever met a nun like that, she'd definitely cause a conundrum!
