Lurking in the corner
Of the conference room
Whispers
A Tete-a-tête confabulate
Enough of the palaver
We have to move on
There are more
Impressive issues
To discuss
No need to
Extrapolate
Don’t make a fuss
Whatever happened
To the days of;
Honor
Virtuousness
integrity of probity
The political campaigns
has become mudslinging
*** for tat
We lost the sustenance of
Where we are about
Despite the
Moderators
Best efforts
Opposing sides
Still remain
Intransigent
Most people are
Betwixt between
A rock, and a hard case
Family Friends on
Opposing sides
In Retribution
They stoop to
Degradation
Some find
It difficult
To conform
To propriety
Struggling
to fit in
With Society
Perplexed
We are at
An impasse
An impression
Unsustained
Does not last
That is the dilemma!
growing up one of 8 children, my father encouraged us to use a larger vocabulary to improve our lexicon. We were taught to choose a word from the dictionary, and for the rest of the day to use that word correctly. Three syllable words were called five cent words, and we were given a bonus nickel. I had a jar full of nickels as a tribute to my furthered education and for my fathers inspiration. Later in life, he would smile when I would use a five cent word, and he would quietly hand me a nickel. Hence, our secret phrase was for a nickel I will.😎
