Superfluous

Let’s stop all this drivel,
It’s just kibble for the addle-brained.
Try to simplify the mix
Without the tricks that drone and drain.

Finding words
Far less absurd
That will not curdle on the tongue.
Gently croon
A simple tune
That lingers after being sung.

Choosing words and actions
Built on traction,
Never slip or slide.
Keeping sails trimmed lively
Til arriving
On the other side.

Hack the excess, cut the blubber
Right down to the bone.
State the facts with certainty,
Leave the rest alone.
