RHOPALIC: silly verbal tumours

(See Word Pyramids)
 
A rhopalic is a literary phrase( poetry or prose) in which each word has one more letter than the previous word. For example:

I DO NOT KNOW WHICH TURKEY SMELLED

                                 WHERE PHILIP STARTED

I GO AND TAKE LEAVE...

I AM ALL VERY RIGHT THANKS...

AN ICY COLD NIGHT ISABEL VANISHED

 

(THESE ARE  DMITRI BORGMANN´S CLASSIC EXAMPLES) :

 

I do not know where family doctors acquired illegibly perplexing handwriting; nevertheless, extraordinary pharmaceutical intellectuality, counterbalancing indecipherability, transcendentalises intercommunications’ incomprehensibleness!

I am not very happy acting pleased whenever prominent scientists overmagnify intellectual enlightenment, stoutheartedly outvociferating ultrareactionary retrogressionists, characteristically unsupernaturalizing transubstantiatively philosophicoreligious incomprehensiblenesses anthropomorphologically. Pathologicopsychological!

 task:

TRY TO INVENT YOUR OWN RHOPALIC 

(The winner will be the one who makes up the longest meaningful sentence)
