Rococo ... Entice

Today’s word is “Rococo” ... ruh-koh-koh ... ornate or florid in speech; Fine Arts. Noting or pertaining to a style of painting developed simultaneously with the rococo in architecture and decoration, characterized chiefly by smallness of scale, delicacy of color, freedom of brushwork, and the selection of playful subjects as thematic material. (Dictionary.com)

Entice Fancy words and phrases,
Like rococo art, ornate,
Fall from deceitful lips,
Testing all the fates.

How they please the ear,
And make the senses shake,
Confusing and inciting,
Though no logic do they make.

Stop and think it through,
Before you take their bait,
It will help your mood,
And satisfy your state.
