@SmokeyBrown I think this might be it if you still wanna take a shot at it The Vocabulary Warden Mark Hively I’ve never met a word 1 That couldn’t be replaced 2 With some captivating synonym 3 That just stared me in the face. 4 My friends call me a euphemism: 5 Mr. Big Vocabulary, 6 Because I make their simple words 7 more extraordinary. 8 When they say go forward, 9 I reiterate—“proceed” 10 When they say they’ve stuff for sale, 11 “merchandise,” they hear from me. 12 It’s not an obligation; 13 don’t misunderstand. 14 The right word’s always there (somewhere) 15 waiting patiently to stand 16 in a sentence or a paragraph— 17 perfection is the thing. 18 A guardian of language, 19 I make your statements sing. 20 I think it’s just good sportsmanship 21 to this notion, I subscribe: 22 that our words are exclamations 23 of the thoughts we wield inside. 24 And if I can be the bearer 25 of superior expressions, 26 then Warden of Vocabulary 27 is my chosen life profession. 28

SmokeyBrown:

Oh cool, I'd say the theme could be something along the lines of "Language offers many opportunities for self-expression that not many take advantage of. Those who appreciate the versatility of words will have a greater appreciation not only for words but also for the ideas they represent." But what do I know, I should probably just read the sparknotes, rip
