Eloquent Banter

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

*galanter from German meaning should be more noble/chivalrous

Andrea Dietrich Date: 2/2/2018 2:53:00 PM 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. Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 2/2/2018 3:01:00 PM 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

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
