Gene Moutoux's Poetry Retaliation To obviate recondite research reports Was querulous Quincy’s concern. Obscureness, he thought, comes from profligacy Of words, words, and more words, by dern.
Now Quincy was puissant and opulent, too, With retinues stretching a mile. His sycophant underlings patiently bore His petulant words with a smile.
Till one day when Quincy, in scolding his staff, Belabored word paucity’s praise, A voice interjected: "Your lengthy remarks Could better be said in a phrase." |
