Logomachy

Logomachy

Upon being dubbed

“puissant”

by a casual acquaintance

should one feel

complimented

or insulted?   

Would the result

be fisticuffs

or a friendly debate

between logophiles?

Might the two, in fact,

laughingly proclaim  

naming someone

a “puissant pissant”

is a perfectly poetic

oxymoron?
