It’s true, I do
Pontificate
While out to lunch
Or on a date
I spew forth conjecture
Spouting a lecture
Something to say
Night and day
Repugnant or relevant
I feel intelligent
Or, perhaps self-indulgent
None-the-less
It’s true, I do
Pontificate
Soliloquies rule
My one-sided debate
It matters not my audience
A bevy of scholars, or one so… dense
Swirling mental cavalcades
Inspires verbal escapades!
To keep my opinions
Stored on a shelf
Would only disappoint myself
I don’t think first
Nor bite my tongue
Speak up speak out
My spring unsprung
“Talk is cheap” ?
You fail to see
How it pays
Dividends to me
If you toss a pebble into my pond
Be prepared! I WILL respond!
