Brevity

It's a crime that brevity
is ruined by the boor
who wallows in verbosity
till I can bear no more!

Be brief in your delivery,
is all that I would stress,
essentials are what's needed
not the ramblings of excess.

If you're prone to be loquacious
best avoid my company;
long-winded dissertations
bring the devil out in me!
