Explicit

I'm going to try one more time To write an intellectual rhyme Some with complicated words Most of which I've never heard Words that cudgel my brain So I can deliberate and strain My antediluvian brain To think from a new perspective Endeavour to be more selective Perhaps I should keep improvising These sesquipedalian words are so misguiding It would save much more time To stick (or adhere) to my simple rhyme

I remembered your comments from before which gave me encouragement to write down my thoughts. It is nice to know others share the same opinion about the insecurity of the world in these unfair and troubled times.
