He claims he’s got eloquent banter
In truth he’s a terrible ranter
who just posts on Twitter
and makes people bitter
Perhaps he should be more galanter
Some folks love to use a long word
Out of context it sounds quite absurd
They thumb through a thesaurus
Use long words that just bore us
To be honest they look like a nerd
Eloquent banter you tease me so nicely Contest

*galanter from German meaning should be more noble/chivalrous
