'Bafflegab' by R. A. Allen

The fact remains that

there is a waning skepticism

about those studies which reveal

a burgeoning body of evidence

to corroborate a statistically

significant correlation

between the verbiage preceding

the break at the end of this line

and the reader's tolerance for filler

bullshit pointless bafflegab.
