A Fat Mouth So Uncouth

Of his own eloquence he seemed fond- Pompous style, infected, orotund, Spoken with a round mouth That was oft not so couth, Oh what with hisbody so rotund. _________________________________________________________ Rotund and orotund are derived from the same Latinroot. But the two do not mean the same.There's a difference. Orotund is made from ore (mouth) and rotund round, podgy) It refers to pompous speechmade with around mouth. But it does not necessarily mean by a rotund or fat man. This limerick was inspired by a flesh and blood man in politics. _________________________________________________________ Ways of words 27.08.2020
