Living in a jam-packed world
Where the known is hardly grasped
Confounds a basic understanding
Of precision barely clasped
So, what we say and how we say it
Is nowadays a free-for-all
As accent brogues and dialects
May well pervade your local hall
Street-talk slang and natter-wags
Tripping off a slithered phrase
To make it up among your few
Is at best an old malaise
Discourse slanted by a tongue-in-cheek
Equates a Nod as good as a wink
Where the yammer strikes a hammer blow
Brings understanding to the brink
Is language an opinion
Where common sense has lost the will
To reinvent as more mysterious
Portraying difference as swill
Do be brief when talking blether
Dump the dunce and leave it out
Let pigeons coo and owl’s hoot
Plainly speak no need to spout
