Pledget pleasantries soak up my dry wit,
As you stand there, venting your gaping aperture,
Grinding out a vehicular vernacular.
I tire of the tedium.

I like some of the wordplay. I get it, but it doesn't flow. The lines don't compliment each other. Grinding out a vehicular vernacular is out of the blue. There is no context for it in the poem. Also, when using alliteration, it's best to hide it. It seems you are just playing with words, but maybe that's what you want. I can't be sure. The ideas are valid, if it was longer it wouldn't seem as thrown together. "I tire of the tedium" is a good phrase, though, and if the poem was elongated it would seem a bit more justified.

Well the idea behind the poem is of an unwanted and unnecessary social meeting with someone I couldn't care less about. They're talking crap and I'm trying my best to care. I came up with "vehicular vernacular" to mess with the idea that the subject is talking like a machine with no end to the garbage spewing out of it. For the most part I was just messing with words (which is fun) but there is a story, and it makes sense to me at least
