Tom,
There is no doubt you are conflagrative,
but also, too masturbative,
going off like Vesuvius
destroying all and everyone of us,
and bright Pompeii,
only ash frames did stay.
You care not for right or wrong,
just so you sing the final song.
Only then will you feel gay,
gay enough, I think I'd say,
flaming flaming into the night,
watch his fancy now take flight
like a Phoenix burning bright,
why do you do, us, this way?
And should you not get what I am saying, I will say it less obliquely. Looking up either of the two definitions above would not have gotten the reader any closer to understanding your usage.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
