Circumlocution
CIRCUMLOCUTION
Today’s problems seem insoluble,
For empty talk is often voluble.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
NOTE: These two simple sentences, recently overheard in the following way.
I stand to be corrected, but in the world as we know it,
in the present day and age in which we live, the problems
seem insoluble, for want of a better phrase.
No doubt there are those who would contradict me when
I say that perhaps the main problem could be stated bluntly
but succinctly as - many people saying little but being loudly talkative.
