Brian Bilston's Breviloquence
Don't have to be a sleuth
To find ample proof
A well worn trampled truth
That to besmirch
Not be kind
On a pedant’s perch
Scorn and be aloof
Is quite simply uncouth
Snooty snotty sniffy
In a jiffy drives me potty
The spiffy getting iffy
You've gotta be pithy
Must be dotty
Semantic severity
Temerity to stifle
Getting a trifle squiffy
Like a lush
Quaffing & scoffing
A lexicon so plush
Brevity don't mean levity
Just let it gush
It does perplex
Not your cortex to flex
So why try to vex
With a supercilious hex
Any wannabe thesaurus rex
Let's lobby those
Who got gobby
Chose to be snobby
For you it is a jobby
For most it is just a hobby
So Brian my old fruit
With a lingo bingo to loot
Let folks have a hoot
Without pokes enjoy a toot
Take the scenic route
Have you heard a word more absurd
Less elegant…redolent or benevolent
Than counter “breviloquent”
So just hush
You should blush
It’s our duty
To be bold
Revel in the
Another level booty
Feeling flush
Well what's the rush
No need to be a bore
No one's keeping score
Who doesn’t adore an encore
Cos sometimes with rhymes
More is well… more
