Multiple People

Multiple people are following a new trend
regarding which I see no sign of an end.
 I seek reasons but haven't found any
why people these days avoid saying 'many,'
jnstead of which they prefer to say 'multiple,' 
a fault of which I'm personally not culpable.
So let me affirm old usage once more
just as I've done multiple times before.
Oh dear me! What a terrible slip.
Happy are they who have mastered the lip.

Very funny, Julian. Many/Multiple times I have wondered if the brain and the mouth are in any wise connected.
