Take a logorrhea
Send it to my wife
Tell her I won't be coming home
I'm gonna start a new life

Pres Trump won the election
And since then we have seen
That logorrhea is now a fad
And Nancy Pelosi is its queen

Mad Maxine’s unhinged rants
And the never-ending blame
In Hillary’s bitter speeches
Are both 2nd to Nancy’s fame

Schiff with his Manson eyes
And paranoid way of thinking
Show liberals remain insane
And into the koolaid drinking...

I initially thought the word was: Gongoreaha...

Of course i could spend 15 minutes explaining what it is and how I came to understand its meaning but that would make me logorrheic.

No. The word is about verbal hysteria.
