More Or Less
It used to be that we knew more or less,
How to use more and less.
We could safely ask for more and not get less,
Or ask for less and not get more.
It used to be straight forward more or less,
Now some think more is less and less is more.
I'm now not as sure as I was before which confuses me more.
The confusion started around use of more and less,
When we found we could buy more for less,
Though the more we got with less was sometimes less,
And the less that got us more was sometimes more.
Could anything confuse us more or less.
It is enough to make one feel more or less useless,
Unless one decides to care less which suits me more or less.
If I call more large and less small, I will know more or less,
How to ask for less pie and not get more,
Or ask for more cake and not get less.
Has this helped you more, or less to know when to use more and less.
