Magniloquent

The weekend Writing Prompt from Sammi. Word count: 26

Definition:
Magniloquent: an adjective describing speech or writing that uses a lofty, grandiose, and overly complex style. Often used in a disapproving way, it refers to language intended to sound highly important and intelligent, but which frequently lacks genuine substance.

Funny, the definition is longer than the prompt word count, but here goes:

Say, does anyone want to hear
How highly you think of yourself?
Hardly, Humblebrag.
Leave flowery words for poets.
State your business and leave us be.
