Perorate … Yes

Today’s word is “perorate” … to speak at length; make a long, usually grandiloquent speech. (Dictionary.com)

Yes

We listened to him banter,

We listened to him perorate,

He had some strong opinions,

Which he wasn’t loath to state.

We did not at all agree,

Yet would not complain,

We just talked amongst ourselves,

Happy to be sane.
