Another Way of Saying It
Hyperbole is a hi-falutin’ way of saying exaggeration
“All filled up” will work quite as well for saturation,
What’s the difference between edict and declaration?
Puppy love is merely another way of saying infatuation!
If you are aggravated, you are suffering from frustration
Sneaking in where you don’t belong is called infiltration,
Giving your full attention to a matter is concentration,
When you can’t get the point, you’ll feel exasperation.
“To be sweet on” can cause one to engage in flirtation
Which these days might lead to a legal confrontation
A sore spot might signal a dangerous inflammation
While a serious, extensive forest fire is a conflagration.
Best to confine yourself to the simplest explanation
Keep in mind that “lying about something” is prevarication,
It is always best not to indulge in an over-simplification,
When you are over-taxed, it means you need a vacation!
