Catalogue Of Swindles And Perversions Poem by Prageeta Sharma

Ring the changes on or take up the cudgels for,
to toe the line
and ride roughshod over,
to stand shoulder to shoulder with Achilles' heel,
swan song and hot bed.
Do not pervert another phrase.

Grist the mill and make itself felt.
exhibit a tendency, take effect,
deserving of serious consideration,
this is to operate with false verbal limbs.

Pretentious diction is elemental and phenomenal,
primary or promotional.
Deracinated, clandestine.

Meaningless words are romantic, scientific and reactionary.

Jargon particular to Marxist writing is impermissible,
extramarital and non fragmentary.
Do not pervert another phrase.
