UNDERSTAND YOURSELF

Can you make up words?
Just so they fit into what
You are trying to say?
I know politicians do
What difference does it make?
It’s just like promises
They sound good, but no one remembers
Better than banal they may add
To the continuum of their chatter
 
I like going around and using
The regular almost mundane words
That everyone understands
It makes life easier for me
No one tries to outdo a common word
With one of their own which is superior
Conversations end quickly when this
Takes place and there is no need to do this
Being a regular guy suits me
 
I just heard that the chef left
Everyone is feeling bad
He was good, but unappreciated
Someone asked him if all the
Ingredients were local
Just the customers he said
Outsiders were more discerning
So long chef
Can’t say it hasn’t been nice
 
Crazy things happening all about
I ran into a politician
Asked him what gnarciss meant
He said he didn’t know
Wondered why I brought it up
He thought it was related to gnarl
Did I bring it up I asked
He said he thought so and
Then I could only wonder why
