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!
