Across the endless stretch of sea
the distance of eternity
it appears and occurs to me
you'll find the land "Hyperbole".
It's people have such intellect
they ignore with complete neglect
their neighbors whom they do suspect
use more words than their thoughts reflect!
The "Neoplasts" are one great race
who speak at such a rapid pace
they throw in extra words in case
to preserve and maintain good face .
"Hyperboles" give much more thought
to words extravagantly wrought
so priceless they can not be bought
and so a battle soon was fought !
But no-one won which is as well
as you can see and also tell
this tale would end before begun
and I'd have missed a ton of fun !

Nan,
I'll have to take this on your authority,as usual, I haven't the faintest idea of what I was talking about.

Debbie,
One of my little quirks , if possible , I'll try to work a new term , or style of poetry ,into the first attempt . Kind of a mnemonic reminder for me . Thanks for the R&R.
Doc
