b) Today's Offering (May 2, 2024):  

poetry lyrics:/ Some folks find flowery script efficacious./ After all, a blank page
 is capacious./ Others, quasi-omniscient/ Can be terse and efficient/
 But the worst are the blurts disputatious.  

Authors' Note:  The author disavows overly blunt speech and writing, but finds the tendency to embellish disconcerting. Efficacious seems to be used disproportionately when effective or efficient would do nicely. Other words with inflated frequency of usage include symptomatology, methodology and, yes, even usage.
