A bit of thought . . .

I'm not that fond of certain words,

Some really make me cringe.

I'm not that opinionated;

But one or two will prime a whinge.

The main offender's 'awesome',

It almost refused to be typed,

It's used with barely a thought;

A mock superlative, that's been 'hyped'.

Don't get me wrong -words should be used

To express sublime emotions;

Just not 'that' one - it sounds so false

Just 'thrown' in as a notion.

Now! 'awe inspiring' is better

And there's plenty more to choose

So when you're about to say it

Think 'what else could I use'!

Always using exaggerated nouns.

Is not really that convincing.

Doesn't convey in its best form

What you are truly thinking.

So now, I must also rethink

Those words I often mention.

So they don't become meaningless

When meant with good intention.
