Gail Debole Poet Couplet

To the Nth Power

Don’t repeat.
Make it short and sweet.

Really and Very
Are words that don’t carry

A crucial amount of weight
To a descriptive word’s state.

If you must abuse
The word that you choose.

Then at least speak the power
So listeners do not sour.

Say “Very” to the third
Even though it’s quite absurd.

At least you’re being clever
If listeners respond, “Whatever.”

Rico Leffanta October 28, 2021 at 11:00 AM Ah, but speaking French requires pursing the lips so they are poised to be kissed . . . . . Gail Debole October 27, 2021 at 2:13 PM Probably so. The English language is complicated with many exceptions. Thanks for stopping by!
