Nobody Really Understands

Really?

The elder, with solemnity of countenance and gravity of voice said,
“We have reached a most serious juncture, and what I’m about to ask

Hey, don’t sweat it,
nobody really understands
the meaning of the word “really.”

“Most promises are made through the false sincerity of wine.”
“Ah, but I do not drink.”
“Ah, but never-the-less.”

Remember This Number Way-Up-There:
All conversations are between SOMEbody.
