Wacky Word Wednesday - Bloviate

Bloviate
by Rachel Hoyt

Politicians sometimes bloviate,
because they think that their ideas are great,
and boast of them when they orate,
and elaborate but don't deviate
as they spout slogans and stories to which we relate...
 
I'll stop here before I bloviate.

Every week I rhyme and define a new wacky word.
Come on over to indulge your inner nerd.
And, please let me know of any weird words you've heard.

  3. Good Evening, Rachel,
    Never heard this one before, but I guess it's what the politicians and world leaders all do! (Lol) Nice one! Hope you had a lovely time at the wedding...it'll be YOU next time (smile). Enjoy the rest of the week.

  6. I used to think bloviate was something I did after eating a couple of microwavable burritos.
