Q. What do you call a gator bowdlerizer? A. An alligator expurgator.

(Joke Type 2 works now, with the correction.)

@Jesse Friedman we were playing with friends with your code and I think in this piece:

words = # -> {WordData[#, "Hyphenation"], 
      Flatten[WordData[#, "Synonyms"][[All, 2]]]} & /@  WordData[All, part];

the symbol part is undefined. Could you add the missing part - forgive the pun ;) ?

Thanks for pointing that out! It looks like I missed some of the line when I copied it. It should be:

words = Flatten[
  Table[# -> {WordData[#, "Hyphenation"], 
       Flatten[WordData[#, "Synonyms"][[All, 2]]]} & /@ 
    WordData[All, part], {part, {"Noun", "Adjective"}}]]

I fixed it in the original post too.

A poem derived from the first. (Arranging and sequencing in a certain way changes the emotional valence from funny to something else.)
