Word-Worship

Another great explanation of language and literature in poetry.

You're on to something here, kid.

the possibilities are endless, Snuggles...
and most folks will agree
especially in English,
fundamentally.
we have so very many words, but use  
so very few...
a shameful waste of verbiage...  
you'd think the language was brand new.

English has reputedly...some 500K words we could call on...that surprises even me...
Now, the average american has some 20,000 stashed somewhere...  
but uses only 10K or so as their daily fare.

That's a pitiful use of language...an embarrassing underachievement
for a nation that calls itself ''Rich''...
I'd call it pathetic...

I think the problem lies within all the rubbish we've filled the cubby holes with.

Nice pondering or in other words;
think about, give thought to, consider, review, reflect on, mull over, contemplate, study, meditate on, muse on, deliberate about, cogitate on, dwell on, brood on/over, ruminate about/on, chew over, puzzle over, speculate about, weigh up, turn over in one's mind; be in a brown study; informal/put on one's thinking cap about; archaic/pore on; rare/cerebrate

I expect most philosophies could do with a good think...Ely
