Replying to a comment on:

Ulterior Not Alterior (Free verse) by MacFrantic

(Inspired by an argument with my father that I'm sure many have had before me) Sharpness spans several degrees Everything from Dull to Acute But one universal truth remains That without wit we are nothing And nothing can be worse Than damaged goods In time we learn to avoid people Who are Bigger Stronger Smarter Without any hesitation we know Their weaknesses But fail to capitalize Anyway you put it Everyone has numerous Character flaws However I am certain Beyond a shadow of a doubt That I am right And you are nuts So please stop arguing Because alterior is not a word

I'm glad you didn't miss the fact that I use cliches purposefully. But it would be nice if you realized that arguements often dissolve into analogies and familiar "-isms", or cliches. Aversion of these was not my aim.
