Today’s word is “epizeuxis” ... a literary or rhetorical device that appeals to or invokes the reader’s or listener’s emotions through the repetition of words in quick succession. (Dictionary.com)
Stare
To be sure that you are listening,
To the noise, noise, noise,
We will repeat, repeat our headlines,
That’s our ploy, ploy ploy.
And if that epizeuxis,
Doesn’t catch your eye, eye, eye,
We will continue with more fervor,
‘Til you buy, buy buy!
