My expertise is pleonasm.
You see, I think it good
That every little thing I say
Is fully understood.
I wouldn't like to think that you
Had not quite got my gist;
I'd hate to think that any of
My wisdom might be missed.
In case you haven't got it yet,
Then what I'm trying to say,
Is that I'd rather my thoughts weren't
The ones that got away.
Perhaps I haven't made my point,
So just to make it clear,
Not fully being understood's
My deepest, darkest fear.
Have you grasped what I'm saying yet?
I don't think it's absurd;
I just don't want my meaning lost
For want of one more word.
I fear I haven't said enough;
I'll give it one more go,
I like to use sufficient words
To spell out all I know.
My warders say that I should stop,
But if you're still not sure
These seven verses are enough,
I'll write you twenty more!
hooray!
