Note to Self...

orchidee



A note to self.......

In some of the comments I make on poems

Saying

"I wish I would shut up sometimes"

 

But it can't be done

I go on and on... and on

I have shut up shutting up

I've given up shutting up as a bad job!

 

You know such folk?

They always says 20 words when 5 will do

Or they may show off

By using long or cryptic words

So that we dunno what they're on about

And - do THEY know what they're on about?!

 

It's a bore, a nuisance

You know - They who start every sentence

With 'And'. Erm, And, another thing....

See - they've got me doing it now!

 

Psst - I already did it in the line above:

"And - do THEY know what they're on about?!"

 

Also - adding hyfaluting words, quite naff

Such as 'Basically'; 'This moment in time'

[Insert your own example here]

But don't get me started on the utter naffness

The utter impossibility 

(That's quite a long word, says Fido)

Of they who say "I give 110%"

 

Well, I'm not practising what I preach

In one of my mottos 'Talk sense, man!'

I mean - I have a talking dog

It's my excuse to talk rubbish

 

Aww - why they say? - 

"No change there then 99% of the time!"

Heehee

 

Oh well, must not waste the day

I wish people would talk English

By the time I found out what Carpe Diem meant

Most of the day had gone

There was none left to seize!

Well, I thought it was French

Spent hours in a French-English dictionary!

Doh! Such is life. 

LOL.

 

PS. Oh, don't bother me just now

I got me own problems

Me Halloween Wedding Anniversary to KP

(I will explain if you don't know this eccentricity of mine)

Woof! Too many long words, says Fido!

      'I wish people would talk English
      By the time I found out what Carpe Diem meant
      Most of the day had gone
      There was none left to seize!'
      LMAO!!! 😂
      forgive me Fido: though namesake of your loyal Italian brethren,
      if I - am one of those 'they', who vomit what little vocabulary we accumulate, in our attempt to hide the worthlessness of what we write...
      such a witty write, Brilliant!

        Thanks LB lol. I'm only teasing. Yes, we can use long words if we wish. 'It's educational on here; not any old rubbish', as they say! It's jargon that's the real pest.

        Hi Orchidee,

        A great write.

        Very good.

        Halloween will be different this year no trick or treaters out because of Covid!

        Keep writing ✍ and safe during these challenging times.
