Diction or Fiction?

Philosophical humor...?

Diction…or…Fiction?


 


Though I may pronounce incorrect,


Or spell something quite suspect,


I always do try to speak with my right mind,


That is of course if my right mind I can find…


 


Diction is an articulation of speech,


Some have to go quite far for that to reach,


Like writing on a blackboard on an angle to screech,


To speak with articulation one just has to learn to preach…


 


Long winded are preachers and politicians,


Though their choice of careers are in opposition,


They both in someway speak of attrition,


No fear of damnation does the politician worry,


Preachers on the other hand fear for those of us in a hurry…
