Brevity ... Syllable

Today's word is "brevity" ... BREV-i-tee ... the quality of expressing much in few words; terseness. (Dictionary.com)

Syllable
Why the convoluted sentence?
Why redundant repetition?
Can you not speak with brevity,
And still encourage your ambition?

We who listen most intently,
Would enjoy a shorter speech.
We'll understand the points your making,
Even at one phrase apiece.
