He wrote ‘embargo’
She penned ‘phosphorescence’
Together, they endorsed grandiloquence.

Caught in this war of words,
the naive cowered into the rabbit hole of retrospection.

with a sagacious halo on his head.

He’s tried your tricks and seen your ways.
And in this farcical stageshow, he remains unfazed.
The superlative truth has dawned on him
- never to use the pseudo word janus-faced."
