your compliments don't seem to be working

 

 

 

 

 

 

you could always tell me that i'm clever one more time.

that might, possibly make me take you seriously.

as if saying the same thing one more time,

makes it any less cliche.

 

did you know that you're a walking platitude?

 

it's not like you haven't said it innumerable times,

and sometimes within the same sentences,

repetition is the sincerest form of... something.

 

excuse me but could you use a little imagination?

could you be any more vague?

 

no, honestly, why don't you tell me?

Wow! You are so clever in this piece (wink). And I can be as vague as one of those things with the lever thing on it that they use to make those brightly colored whatnots you sometimes see on television. The little ones, you know?

But, that doesn't matter. What matters, here and now, is that I like this piece of writing. Why? Because it draws a big red circle around some of the stuff I hate. I hate repetitive compliments...though I am often guilty of using them. I hate vague comments...even though I'm sometimes vague. I hate the unimaginative banter that people ping pong back and forth...that means nothing. I hate all that stuff, and, therefore, I love this piece of writing. Good stuff!

This poem put a smirk on my face. Nice wording, good flow. Love the sarcasm

Sounds like some weak fool with no spine irritated you well and truly. The biting comments at the wretch whom this is intended are great.

i like this, it's got my kind of simpleminded (that's not the word i'm looking for but i can't think of the one i do) anger. no one appreciates my cleverness either.
