If someone were to ask me…
I’d tell them that the word ‘indeed’
Is a term that we just don’t need.
Important people use it-
When they’re speaking from the heart
Or to prove to us that they are smart.
‘Indeed’ is a term unnecessary.
If the pompous speaker was forced to confess…
He’d admit it merely substitutes for ‘yes’.
‘Indeed’ is a pretentious term to use.
Why is ‘yes”so hard for them to say?
Why this need for linguistic play?
One plus one is two.
‘Indeed’, that is true.
Sometimes we don’t need ‘indeed’ at all.
Oftentimes it merely takes up space,
Bestowing, for the speaker, a verbal grace.
Today is ‘indeed’ a very hot day.
Today is hot. (What he meant to say.)
To be succinct…
We don’t need ‘indeed
…or so I think.
