He claims he’s got eloquent banter In truth he’s a terrible ranter who just posts on Twitter and makes people bitter Perhaps he should be more galanter Some folks love to use a long word Out of context it sounds quite absurd They thumb through a thesaurus Use long words that just bore us To be honest they look like a nerd Eloquent banter you tease me so nicely Contest Sponsored by Edward McCall 02/02/18 *galanter from German meaning should be more noble/chivalrous

Lol! Jan, It's good you can find humour in the whole situation because his "banter" is making us all mad. I wish you the best of luck in:-) Alexis

OH, Jan, I see your note down here to Sunshine. I have no idea what the sponsor wants either . Let's hope he is not a Trump supporter because if he's not, I bet this one will make the winners' list. It's GREAT humor.

I'm in trouble if he's a Trump supporter but you know me I write whatever the muse comes up with and I am fully aware i will probably not place but it wouldn't be the first or last time my humour has got me no where on soup lol:-) hugs jan xx

Thanks Anne-Lise I'm not sure if its what the sponsor is looking for but its all my tired muse could come up with ... I was helping out at a church lunch and it was gone 3pm before I finished the mound of washing up but we made over £200 for the church funds so it was really worthwhile:-) hugs jan xx
