Are you being threatened by words?

Are you being threatened by words?

A Poem by andrew mitchell

Do some words annoy you?
Do you suffer at the hands of words?
Do some words threaten you?
Do some words just eat at you?
Well! Don’t despair!
All will be solved using
this new product
“ The Word Killer “
that comes in an aerosol can.
That’s right! Just one spray
and that word is dead.
Do you ever wonder
how long it takes
for a word that’s
hurting you to die?
It takes literally seconds!
Yes! No more pesty words.
No more sufferings,
no more threats.
Just one spray
and they’re gone.

Please remember to read
instructions before use.
May kill sentences, verses
and whole stories with
over use. It’s a contracted killer
and like Pulp Fiction,
sees the job done.

Took this as friendly satire of.. the over users of long words used to attract attention. Probably wrong but there we go ~ one of my idiosyncrasies is to utilise superficial knowledge with neither reverence nor commitment! Or summa!. Wishing you all you wish for in the new year.

I guess some words do leave a stain on the page and are better erased. I like this idea. Sounds like a solution. Maybe a business opportunity :)) I do like the warning given. A sort of handle with care. Original thinking Andrew. I liked where you went with this.
