Just having fun with language. That's all. Nothing complicated here.

Verisimilitude

According to the dictionary...
Your words lack realism
They simply are not believable
Their plausibility sags severely
As to authenticity
They have none
They need credibility
A lot more lifelikeness
Before we can call them gripping.

Let me put it another way...
Gimme the facts baby
The real low down
Don’t horse around
Don’t shovel the scheisser
But don’t be a miser
Just gimme the poop
Straight from the horse’s…
Well I was thinking of mouth
So don’t go south
We don’t need no more
Of that stuff spread around.

I will try once again...
Would you like to see any
Of this appended to your AD review?
No?
Then stop yanking my chain
Think about my brain
No more razzmatazz
And all that jazz
Just lay it on me
In plain old
Easy does it
Rootin’ tootin’
Old fashioned
English—
Nuttin’ but
The truth.

Is hard to explain.
