Brevity

It's a crime that brevity
is ruined by the boor
who wallows in verbosity
'til 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!

I've known a few in my time and have to say, having to listen to these wind bags does create some strange responses. I love the brevity here that leaves no doubt in any one's mind!
