Kibosh By Gosh
Claptrap gossip bosh,
like character assassination,
is foolish rumor to kibosh.
Swagger bluster swash,
like egotistical inflation,
is braggadocio to squash.
Trendy chic panache,
like herringbone configurations,
is ostentatious style soutache.
Hors d'oeuvre cocktail nosh,
like dainty morsel combinations,
is canapT and drink to slosh.
Funny humor josh,
like cleaver puns in situations,
is witticism without tosh.
Concert stage's mosh,
like uninhibited gyrations,
is frenzied behavior by gosh.
