Analysis of Considering Conciseness
Could I convey this tale to you
But manage saying less?
Would you absorb its full context,
Or hear laconic mess?
This fear of mine,
Though asinine,
Breeds my tedious address.
If I could share brief thoughts with you,
Without causing you grief,
Your full receipt of substance
Would bring me much relief.
But I still doubt,
And so will spout
For you, unabridged debrief.
