DEC 27, defining opinion: hopeful

poetry lyrics:/ Hopeful Holly the optimist's speech:/ "Common goals?

 We've made progress in each./ With continuing luck/ A great deal will be struck --

 / A successful conclusion we'll reach."/ (Not her fault when things halt

 with a screech.)

Authors' Note: There's no denying that Holly the optimist has used a number of cliches in her speech; nor that often (always "unexpectedly") things come to a screeching halt.

Our series of seven blogposts, "Defining Opinions", on the topic-based blog "Edifying Nonsense" each shows a selection of similar verses (six in each collection) submitted to OEDILF  (the online Omnificent English Dictionary in Limerick Form). You can see all of these readily on one visit by clicking HERE.
