Fanfaronade

If you receive an accolade,
perhaps a sugared cavalcade
of compliments, a grand parade
of sweet-tongued words, a soft cascade
of honey-balm to serenade
a weary soul who’s underpaid
by life’s depressing masquerade,
then why not start a great crusade
and seize the moment, unafraid,
to quaff some fizzy lemonade
and tell the world you’ll make the grade,
with all your confidence displayed
in one immense fanfaronade?

David ;)

Quite right Bob, you didn't say short words. I assumed I suppose that words that are hard to understand and spell are usually the longer ones ( Polysyllabic words ;)



That's it David. :lol: A polysyllabic poem .
