Soppy is the way, Ladle on the sentiment, If that swill doesn't work, Just cheat with phoney names, You too can be so popular on HP Yet the mirror still looks on with disdain. Note: rather than craft, study, honing, using elements of actual poetry ( metre, alliteration, image nor even metaphor ) the 'Tireless Self Promoters Club' simply want to start at the top? Phoney? Lazy? No cliché beneath them? Pathetic? All signs point to YES!

Taking Bows for the Banal
Soppy is the way, Ladle on the sentiment, If that swill doesn't work, Just cheat with phoney names, You too can be so popular on HP Yet the mirror still looks on with disdain. Note: rather than craft, study, honing, using elements of actual poetry ( metre, alliteration, image nor even metaphor ) the 'Tireless Self Promoters Club' simply want to start at the top? Phoney? Lazy? No cliché beneath them? Pathetic? All signs point to YES!
for all the vacuous, small Peacocks, the dear diarists and their lame 'thoughts' All dull, in a row, cheats who trend, phoney to the end banal: : boring or ordinary : not interesting Full Definition : lacking originality, freshness, or novelty : trite synonyms see insipid Examples the sort of banal woman who appeals to men not looking for intellectual stimulation please find new ways of phrasing your thoughts instead of relyingon banal expressions Origin: French, from Middle French, of compulsory feudal service, possessed in common, commonplace, from ban. First use: 1825 . Synonyms: wishy–washy, flat, insipid, milk-and-water, namby-pamby, watery .
