The Hexagon Of Unexpectedness

Una learned
the word
"upskilling"

It's used in
conversations
fortelling
improvements around
here!

Can a word be stupid?

The office 'facilitator'
looks very satisfied
with the introduction
of the new
word...

This, coming from
the same man
who used a white-board
to illustrate
'The Hexagon Of Unexpectedness'

Una thinks he looks
far too pleased
with himself

"He's really started to
offcheese me now"

Ha ha, ha...

I found your poem very amusing, I've know many people like your office-'facilitator'. They are the most pleased with themselves whenever they manage to add more confusion to the job. That way the higher-ups don't know that they are not qualified to run a dishwasher, let alone the job. You have them down to the 'T'. Nice work. ~ Gee.

I liked your poem bigly, in the age of alternate facts. I think you can put more time into it and find many other examples of new speak and PC. But I would drop the line "can a word be stupid"
as that is the whole point of the poem, we don't need it.

stupid

is a word used by stupid
I thought
you are really an intelligent poet
and a word
a dead descriptor
can hardly be stupid...
so I thought

Slice me
as does jess
if I so deserve
no BLUFF!
stupid I could be
just say yes....

Can a word be stupid?

I just googled
I alone as a person
can be stupid
and
I am empowered to include
my silly boss as stupid
but not a spoken word
can be declared so
go feel it...

Very funny
I enjoyed this, thank you

Office facillitators need to justify their existence, and this sort of malarky is just how they do it....

So love the visual I get with
'The Hexagon Of Unexpectedness'

Love judy
