Oxymoronica

An oxymoron is, of course
Contradictory at its source
So please join me, in considering these
Linguistic atrocities

It’s time to make up your mind
It really would be prudent
To be one or the other
Instead of a GRADUATE STUDENT

You should try to avoid
The ultimate futility
Anytime someone refers to
A DEFINITE POSSIBILITY

And it’s reasonable to wonder
What to do
When anybody says
“ACT NATURALLY” to you

You may not know
Whether to laugh or cry, honey
If a movie gets described as
As “SERIOUSLY FUNNY”

Or it may be called
Rather commonly
Something described as a
TRAGIC COMEDY

If price is a consideration
You’re sure to wonder what
Anytime you receive
An EXACT ESTIMATE

And things are really
Out of whack
When someone claims finding
A NEW ARTIFACT

Please be careful
Don’t laugh out loud
Should you hear reference to
A SMALL CROWD

And it’s completely ridiculous
So go out and make noise
If a person says they are giving you
Your ONLY CHOICE

Remember to give yourself
Just a little while
In order to understand
NEO-CLASSIC Style

And last, but not least
The worst of this mess
Is what some describe as an
ACT OF CONGRESS
