A dozen mental exercises for this morning.

This morning, while perusing writings on a "cave" wall, I found this little ditty.  It sounded somewhat familiar, and yet completely foreign.

     Scintillate, Scintillate asteriod minific,
     Feign would I fathom your nature specific!
     Loftily poised in the ether capacious
     Strongly resembling a gem carbonaceousl
     Scintillate, Scintillate asteriod minific,
     Feign would I fathom your nature specific!

This lead me to research additional phraseology that showcased elucidation and obfuscation (to quote the Crouchmeister) of a similar variety and I found these, and decided to share them.  See how many you can identify.

1) Members of an avian species of identical plummage congregate.

Too easy...?  Allright, let's try some more.

2) It is fruitless to become lacrymose of precipitately departed lacteal fluid.
3) The stylus is more potent than the Kitana.

Still too easy? ... okay, but be careful what you wish for.

4) Eschew the implement of correction and vitiate the scion.
5) The temperature of aqueous content of an unremittingly ogled saucepan does not reach 212 degrees Fahrenheit.
6) Where there are visible vapors having their prevenience in ignited carbonaceous materials, there is conflagration.
7) A plethora of individuals with expertise in culinary techniques vitiate the potable concoction produced by steeping certain comestibles.
8) Exclusive dedication to the necessitous chores without interludes of hedonistic diversion renders Johnathon a hebetudinous fellow.

Had enough?  no!?  You'd like a few more...?  Okay, just a few, and then I need to rest my brain.

9) Missiles of ligneous or oterous consistency have the potention of fracturing my osseous structure, but appellation will eternally remain innocuous.
10) Abstention from any eleatory undertakings precludes a potential escalation of a lucrative nature.
11) A person presenting the ultimate cachination possesses thereby the optimal cachination.

and finally:

12) Eleomosynary deeds have their incipience intramurally.

Allright... everyone, engage your dictionaries.... ready, set ... go!

and for those of you who didn't figure out the Scintillating poem at the beginning, it is, of course, Twinkle, Twinkle little star...

Twinkle, Twinkle, little bat
how I wonder what you're at:
Up above the world you fly
like a tea tray in the sky
