The problem with pretentious prose?
It only will appeal to those
who are themselves extremely snide—
the bigger the word, the more you can hide
you needn’t be overtly plain
like water swirling down the drain
but never be so grandiose
that readers pray their death is close
just find a clever way to state
a truth to which we all relate
and maybe you’ll be fondly read
beyond the day you wind up dead.
