Eloquent Banter
ELOQUENT BANTER
Some poets attempt to wax eloquent
They use a lot of fifty cent words
They use their Funk and Wagnall's
And make themselves seem like nerds
But friends who chide each other
In rhetorical camaraderie
Refrain from pomp and circumstance
Because they can plainly see
That small talk works much better
Using words we can understand
And not try to be a great orator
Cause it just 'hits the fan'
So my suggestion when addressing others
Don't attempt to eloquently embrace
A list from Funk and Wagnall's
And end up with 'egg on your face'
