Before continuing a conversation, a timid person one must confirm that all engaged are friendly and will support the speaker.
This process is known a palaver test.

When Biden has a palaver
They discus important matter
Like Jello or soup
And when did I poop?
And then they remove the cadaver.

Biden’s palaver should just be ignored
It does not persuade-it creates discord...
The Spanish for “word” is palabra-when referring to the media-sus palabras son todas mentiras...
