Author's Notes: "About That Certain Thing Called Nonsense" is a theme to which I have given some considerable thought about in this poem, and it's also conveniently the title of this poem. To that end, this poem, as it unravels the essence and use of "nonsense," has that certain requisite tone and tenor that bespeaks a serious view and discussion of its meanings and nuances as a form of communication. I also conveyed in the poem's narrative a degree of tongue-in-check humor to round out my final take on "nonsense" as an important part of life itself. (Gary Bateman - December 9, 2018) (Couplet)

About That Certain Thing Called Nonsense
Nonsense is that certain symbolic communication form
that oft pervades our human space with its absurdity!
All of us from time-to-time have had to deal with some
people who revel and rave in it to provoke a response.
Making sense and communicating in an intelligent fashion,
reflects a spirit of human decency that’s so needed at times.
“Nonsense!” used as an exclamatory pronouncement inheres
a necessary tone of disagreement to stop boorish behavior.
“Nonsense” in a whimsical use can tickle one’s funny bone,
whilst creating, at times, a much-needed spirit of amusement!
And so, “Nonsense” as part of our grand human condition,
may not be all bad, except when some choose to be naughty!
Nonsense is an important part of life because it brings us to
a certain view, which should be of no surprise: C’est la vie!
