I'm really not fond of verbosity;
(Although the ex-hubby may not agree!)
Why use many words if you need a few?
A common expletive has only two!
Physicians use words we don't know;
Perhaps to soften the blow.
An attorney-at-law, we recuse:
He intends to mislead and confuse!
Politicians know not what they say;
But they're voted-in, anyway!
Him in the pulpit, I think I'll leave out;
-Poets won't know, what I'm talking about!
Hey Leon,
I appreciate your comment.
I feel like this is the second time within 7 days that I've had to explain my work! lol, it fazes me NOT!
Some people like my poetry and others don't; fair enough. We are all entitled to an opinion. Diversity makes life interesting.
However, there is a difference between constructive criticism and ‘throwing shade'. I would certainly never do the latter to a fellow poet.
I do not take myself too seriously and remain unapologetic about my work.
Keep it real, Leon!

You may have a personal story behind this poem Chrystel, so I've taken it as it reads, and it does so in a way I love. Cheers.

Good point Raj
Rhyme without Reason.
Shit rhymes with Shit
Why? No reason....?
Chrystel, this piece was quite entertaining. It let you be you.
Sometimes it's good to Rhyme without Reason.
Nice little interlude.

‘rhyming shit words into shit'
?????

I am in rehab de-rhyming........
The rest is for you to experience.......
Very true, less can often be more. Sometimes I like just say something on a few words to allow the reader to just experience the rest....if that makes sense!
I'm not really fond of this rhyming
Rhyming shit words into shit
I do it cos Chrystel she likes it
Gotta keep showing her I'm a hit
I know secretly she adores me
She hangs on every rhyme that i say
I gotta look after my women
Don't want them to run, get away
Huh ???
Note my use of the di-pletive it/it.
I do get carried away at times......
The last couplet had me rolling. So fun.

Chrystel,
Stay on the higher ground where you belong. The climate's better there anyway.
This is your poem. You own it. So Celebrate it.
Don't stoop.
