Ode to odd words : a challenge

A grieseous fubsy mansuetude
embrangles the agrestic olid recrement
exuviating a nitid roborant skirr
and vaticinating the apodeitical abstergent
of fatidical caliginosity villipending the whole mulierbrity
this mansuetude - should not have a compossible periapt
but end like a niddering malison with oppugnant caducity.

This is a rough translation into a more understandable English.

a grayish squat gentleness
entangles the uncouth foulsmelling waste matter
shedding a bright increasing grating sound
and prophesying the unquestionably true cleansing
of prophetic dimness treating (with contempt) the whole the condition of being a woman
this mildness should not have a coexiting amulet
but end like the cowardly curse with antagonistic perishableness

I must say, it's apodeictic,
Though it may make one dyspeptic,
That this poem's nitid glory
Must embrangle in its story
All whose feisty muliebriety
Feels oppressed by our society,
And who find themselves oppugnant
To the niddering, repugnant,
Olid, mean and never-ending
Tendency toward vilipending
All things feminine and gentle,
Whose mansuetude seems "mental"
To those men whose strength agrestic
Thumbs its nose at things domestic.
Their caliginosity,
Unabashed pomposity,
Makes me feel a need most urgent
To apply a good abstergent
To exuviate and purge them,
And roborantly to scourge them
Until compossible they be
And fit to live with you and me!
