Simplify Simplify

The sole purpose of anything written Is certainly communication If the reader is left in a state of confusion It certainly needs more clarification Clarity should always be number one Nothing's more important I find Getting your point across quickly and simply Without words from ancient times What is the purpose of expressing oneself If only you understand the motivation Read it back like you're a first time reader To determine if it needs interpretation The theme of a story sometimes gets clouded Wrapped up in our fancy pants lingo Take a deep breath and simplify, simplify, And then all of a sudden... it's BINGO! © Jack Ellison 2015

Dragon and I are big on simplification... That's why our sentences are so short! Isn't it amazing how we have cut those crazy words down! LOL... WOW! -40 to -50 degrees! And we thought we had it bad! At those temperatures Dragon and I wouldn't just feed the squirrels and birdies... We'd be inviting them into the house! Oh... and that cute bunnie... and those dumb moles... and even our crazy neighbor who sawing and hammering outside our bedroom...

Did I mention he's a sweet young thing... and no girl friend in sight... Honestly... There would be if he'd put down the hammer and go a visiting!. Dragon agrees!
