War of Wordcraft: When it’s planes in the sky; shooting at people who die, That’s linguistics.
Obama has decided to call the action in Libya a “kinetic military action,” rather than use the more comprehensible English term: war.
When it’s planes in the sky,
bombing all day and all night,
That’s linguistics.
When the tanks form a line
Bullets whiz and then whine,
That’s linguistics.
The world reaches the brink
Don’t act, just sit and think,
That’s linguistics.
Lots of eloquent words,
Drop like candy-filled turds,
That’s linguistics
When you call it one thing,
Swing voters will swing,
That’s linguistics.
When our focus report shows,
That support ebbs and then flows,
That’s linguistics
Bombs will rain on the shore,
But we’re not calling it war,
That’s linguistics.
Apologies to UPS.
