Too clever by far they say as if clandestinely agreeing
there’s suffrage there, you’re using too many words a
reading-impaired aged-pensioner would have to look
up in a lexicon. Dictionary, you mean dictionary - and
that’s fair comment even if my claim to regular usage
dares witness; I only seek a term best expressing my
feelings on a subject, plus its contribution to rhythms
and metric beat - and assisting assonance naturally
They digress, who are you calling an ass-for-nonce -
hah, nearly had you see, too clever by any measure
excepting where that sense of humour blackens our
tapestry; so it’s the past-tense cant then, your ‘back
t’ th’ boondocks blather’ about meaning, and having
smothered my words you’re now slathering me
