Verbosity is everything;
just fill the lonely air
with polysyllabics,
extravagant prose,
and see just how well you fair.

Your statements need not have great meaning -
mere soundbites amounting to nought,
yet speak with panache,
revered arrogance,
and success is so readily bought.

You can continue through life talking bollocks,
delivered in accute RP style,
rubbing broad in-bred shoulders
with the toff's and the boff's,
wearing that most insincere of smiles.
