When I am confused by all the ways that "object" is abused,
I turn from the Latin and return to the Greek, weighing the
anchor of my Liddell & Scott, unfurling the sail that I see
blazoned with the emblem "?????????????", or "pragma" trans-writ,
and there I retrace my bracing, hearty, and regaling chant:

   Object, Objective, Purpose, Concern,
   Objection, Obstacle, Obstruction, Too,
   Trouble, Treatise, and a Thing or Two,
   What's Done, What's Doing, What's To Do,
   Act & Affair, Deed & Fact, Matter & Work,
   Business, Career, Duty, Expedience, Opus,
   Circumstantial Consequential Contingency,
   Annoyance, Engagement, Irritation, Peril,
   Powers That Be, Government, Undertaking,
   This is the meat in our pragmatic stew!

OK, so I spiced it up, just a pinch or two,
But I brewed it and cooked it just for you,
As I learned it from Our Chef You-Know-Who!
