That Word Concur:

The word concur Really grates my skin, If there was a competition For the most pompous word It would surely win! Don't get me wrong I'm certain it has its place, It's just not a word For me in any case. To be used condescendingly Would be about it, But if it showed its face In its eye, I would spit. Thankfully I pray it is not Used that frequently, And in the English language It should remain to be. But what really annoys me About the word so much, That it's generally used By those out of touch. Out of the mouths of politicians I hear it being used, And after all, we know They are the most confused. So next time someone says The words "I concur," Inform them immediately They need a brain transfer!
12~May~2017 For Frank's contest.

Hello White Wolf. I hope this day finds you well. You have me smiling and chuckling with your thoughts and play. This has two sides. Serious and playful. I do see both. Your ending is priceless. I found this original and creative. Well done in its entirety. Now about those politicians...

Ha, what a lark, yes, I agree. Annoying words are beginning to jump out at me. Like "Look". It seems all the talking heads on TV have taken on the word as a treasured gem. They always preface their golden remarks with "Look" as if there was something to see. I hate it. And let us not forget the beloved "push back". Everyone nowadays is "pushing back". Who taught who what? I too want to do some "pushing back". Sounds like fun.

Hmmm ... you just gave me an idea for a fun poem, WW. This light breezy slam was so earnestly funny. Well, I know one word not to say around you, friend. Besides, that word don't vibe well in the ghetto. Delightful write, your wit is charming as always. Love and joy to you.
