Delightful - Unreal

  Marvelous!  Wonderful!  Delightful!
    These words enchant the heart
      but haunt the mind
  The truth about them is quite unkind
      
  They mean something to no one
    nothing to everyone
  No matter their intrinsic appeal
    sans detail to earn their repeal
    their exuberance mocking, unreal

If they are sincerely expressed they are real, if not they could be artificially said by a Robot with no heart or soul.

Now that you mention it, it makes sense. Sort of senseless words that fit best in a Dicken's novel, or after a few drinks?. Happy New Year!
