Word of the Day Poem
Piffle – To talk nonsense
Just for fun and for the practice of writing, I have decided to take the word of the day from Dictionary.com and use it as a writing prompt. Piffle was the word of the day for September 8.
Enjoy! 🙂
Ol’ piffle, what a clamor, what a clatter!
Tranquil peace, you stupendously shatter!
Useless and senseless words,
As stenchful as odious turds
So much emptiness, so much vanity,
the makings of insidious insanity
Such prattle and emptiness, piffle.
A senseless and scrufulous drivel
So proliferate is your sway,
injudicious is your wildly wicked way.
Selfish and inconsiderate,
rapidly firing like some treacherously, terrible turret.
Your own ends you seek,
caring not about the mild nor the meek.
Wise in your own eyes,
while blind to the dangerously darkening skies.
Wrath and destruction await
for all those entangled in ol’ piffles bait.
In the end, all will see
just how foolish “good old piffle” can be!
A Singular Passion
