Today's word is "philosophaster" ... fi-LOS-uh-fas-ter ... a person who has only a superficial knowledge of philosophy or who feigns a knowledge he or she does not possess. (dictionary.com)
Smart
Bringing all his energy,
To explain vociferously,
His point of view on everything,
He talks and talks around in rings.
For the folks that must listen,
His concepts at first gleam and glisten,
But the more words that he uses,
The more his audience he confuses.
This philosophaster's certain,
That he's the one behind the curtain,
And controls all arguments,
(Though we're not sure where his logic went.)
